About this property

Resting in a rural setting within the Island Riding Centre Development is this charming, 150-year-old cottage, Red Rum. Originally used as Victorian dairy barn, the cottage boasts plenty of character, offering a blend of contemporary and traditional features for families and couples to enjoy. Look forward to unwinding in the open-plan living/dining area, complete with a plush settee and Smart TV so you can continue watching your favourite shows while away. There is also the well-resourced kitchen where meals can be prepared, and a cloakroom with basin and WC. Two tastefully presented bedrooms await upstairs, both of which are zip/link to offer flexible sleeping arrangements, and benefit from their en-suite facilities so you don’t have worry about morning queues! Relax in the comfort of your privacy in the enclosed rear garden, which is also a perfect spot for some alfresco dining, or enjoy the landscaped gardens to the front of the cottage. With a fully licensed equestrian centre just a moments’ walk from the cottage, what better time to learn a new skill or build on your on horse-riding ability?
