This cottage is in a great location. It needs some love as there are some things within the cottage that need sorting out. There is some mould in the shower room upstairs . The underfloor heating downstairs never came on. We know how this works as we have this at home. The cupboard doors in the kitchen need adjusting before they get even more damaged. The back door in the kitchen has a missing blind/ curtain so no privacy which is awkward given that there is a toilet& shower room directly opposite. The wifi code on the back door is wrong. The one in the book upstairs does work. Very confusing. The furnishings are tired. The curtains in the small bedroom are falling apart with the black out coating peeling off. This could be a really lovely place with minimal repairs. Also the bolier was empty and needed refilling. This was done but whoever did it entered the property without our knowledge.
