| Welcome to Renton House
Cottage!
|
|
|
Belonging to the
Fleming family at Renton Home Farm, Margaret will
welcome you to her cottage sheltered
below the hill. This cosy stone cottage, built in
1859, has a pretty garden and small private area of woodland surrounded
by a low stone wall.
It offers very
comfortable accommodation, with peace and tranquility for four, but is less than
a mile from the A1.
Please come in and
take a look around!.... |

The Entrance
Hall
|
The front door opens
into a wide and welcoming hallway and Margaret has carefully
chosen traditional furnishings, offering every comfort, as well as
providing a bright and modern kitchen and bathroom for easy living!
Standing
to one side in the hall is an antique treadle sewing machine doubling as
the hall table with local guides and the visitor's book!
Opposite, is the
entrance to the pale green bathroom with gaily coloured chequered
curtains a white bathroom suite and electric shower.
|
 |
 |
Having
the traditional thick stone walls and what appear to be small windows,
nevertheless, the light floods in and all the rooms are bright and
cheerful with open views across the farmland and some beautiful trees
offering welcome shade in summer.
Renton Home
Farm is a mixed farm with sheep and beef cattle and arable land.
The family
pony often grazes among the sheep and cattle in the adjoining field or a
smaller paddock nearby.
The Fleming
family live just across the lane, having built their home inside a large
walled garden. |
 |
| Margaret is always busy - helping with various village and
church events but is also a very keen gardener and has some interesting
plants and ancient trees in her garden, including two very large Lebanese
Spruce. Whenever she has a minute to spare, you'll find her somewhere in
the garden! |
 |
The
sitting-room has double aspect windows and is furnished with a three-seat settee,
an easy chair and a recliner to really relax in!
There is a fine piano
with a duet stool and a television. Above the traditional open fireplace,
fitted with a calor-gas heater, hangs a charming picture of shire horses, working in fields above a
coastline, so similar to the one nearby at Fast Castle.
|
 |
|
The
dining-room, overlooking the rear garden, seats four and a high chair is
provided for toddlers! A few family
treasures are displayed in the Edwardian cabinet and on a sideboard at the
opposite end of the room.
