A gardener's delight, this charming grandmother's cottage is nestled in a quiet private woodland setting. A thoughtful layout makes this house bright, airy and easy to maintain. Woodland trails, beautiful perennial gardens, and a collection of specimen trees (mostly conifers) make this a perfect country retreat for retirees, weekenders, or empty nesters. The addition of a small barn or run-in shed would make this an ideal horse property. There is easy access from Touchstone Cottage to riding trails on neighboring farms and hunt boxes.
Property: Twenty three acres of gently rolling woodlands interlaced with streams and springs. Approximately four acres are open and divided into gardens and lawns.
