London House, St John

Description

Hidden away in a quiet valley in St. John, London House is one of those homes that immediately feels welcoming. Dating back to the 1800s, this detached granite cottage has been sympathetically restored over the years, retaining all the character you'd hope to find while creating a home that's practical and comfortable for modern living. , The setting is every bit as special as the house itself. Sitting within approximately 1.64 acres, the grounds include mature cottage gardens, an orchard, and areas of woodland, giving the property a wonderful sense of privacy. Despite its peaceful surroundings, you're only a short walk from the spectacular north coast cliff paths at Devil's Hole, Les Mouriers, and Sorel. , Inside, the accommodation flows naturally.
