This stone cottage for sale is a nature lover’s dream - complete with a secret ”magic” garden.

Llanfrome Cottage, in the hamlet of Rhulen, has been recently modernised while still incorporating the character of the original building. 

Entering the property, the hallway leads to a dual aspect large reception room with exposed stonework, beams and a feature fireplace with a woodburning stove. 

Also leading off the hallway is the dining room, which connects to a farmhouse style kitchen and breakfast room, with integrated appliances and a utility room. 

Upstairs, on the first floor there is a multi-functional room which could be used as a master suite, with a built-in wardrobe space and dressing area, a wood-burning stove, an en-suite bathroom, and double doors to a private balcony. 

There is another bedroom on this level, featuring an ornamental fireplace and a wash basin, while on the landing there is space for a work-from-home desk or office space. 

Outside, there is a cottage garden to the front of the property, with stone steps leading to the rear garden, with seating areas and floral borders. 

Across the lane is the “Magic Garden”, a secret area with a sloping pathway down to 0.75 acre plot of land, featuring a stream and a shepherd’s hut. 

The property is being sold by James Dean Estate Agents for a price of £525,000. 

The vendors commented: “One of the biggest things that struck us about the property in the time we have been there is how peaceful it is. 

“There is also the benefit of fantastic birdsong for those who love nature.” 

The agent described the property as “an exceptional home in a glorious rural hamlet location, offering flexible accommodation, which has been painstakingly and meticulously improved by the current owners to provide spacious living accommodation, to complement the large gardens and an additional Magic Garden, which truly is a haven for plant and wildlife, complete with shepherds hut, and meandering stream running through.”
