The house enjoys a secluded rural location on the edge of the pretty hamlet, Pennorth. From your door, you can set off on walks along the footpaths that snake into the hills. With stables beside the cottage, you can even bring your own horse and take advantage of the glorious riding trails here. Or if you fancy taking in some ancient history, hike 2 miles to the Allt Mountain, home to an Iron Age fortress.
