Description
As they say every picture tells a story and I believe this to be true of Fountain Cottage, a rare gem for clients who do like the outdoor lifestyle, please take your time to look through the photos and drone work attached to these details. Words really cannot express the way nature encapsulates the land, offering a serene calmness as you walk around the grounds which takes in the far reaching countryside views and orchard. Offering a wide variety of outbuildings to fuel your ambitions whether this be equestrian or a small holding. This property will serve you well. The house is believed to date back to the early 1800's and has connections with the original Fountain public house and where the Woodstove shop is to the front of the property, this was formerly the original Ireland bakery. Internally, Fountain Cottage offers all the home comforts with two wood burning stoves and an open fire to the sitting room alongside the modern convenience of an en-suite bathroom to the master bedroom. TO BE NOTED - for equestrian buyers, there are 'licenced' hacking and rot rides which lead off from the land. Viewing is highly recommended. YOU CAN FIND FOUNTAIN COTTAGE DRONE VIDEO ON YOU TUBE.

Paradise - the land
The horses at Fountain Cottage live on a Horse Track System / Paddock Paradise. There is a partly surfaced track around the perimeter of the fields, this allows the horses to have free access to outside and shelter all year round .

Over the years the fields in the middle of the track and the land around Fountain cottage has been overseeded with a very diverse mix of old fashioned meadow grasses, wild flowers and herbs. As the grasses and herbs flower they encourage the insects and bees which in turn attracts the birds and bats. There are also many species of native hedging for the horses to browse on and the wild birds to nest in .

Fountain Cottage is a wildlife, animal & human paradise.
