A local developer was able to purchase an older property on Pulens Lane, with a large garden to the rear and side. Planning permission was achieved to extend and update the existing property along with creating a new dwelling in the garden.

The new dwelling is a four bedroomed house that addresses all the main living space to the rear where there is a courtyard and small garden. On two sides of the garden are a covered walkway which in turns gives on to the kitchen diner and the living room. This design maximises the use of outdoors in all weathers.

A distinctive chimney serves a wood burning stove and gives the cottage its name!
