This property is located in the rural area of Checkley and 5 minutes drive from Redbank Events. The property is located at the top of a steep track and is unsuitable for any low cars.

The owner purchased Haycroft Cottage in 1999, when it was a completely derelict building with no running water, drainage, electricity, gas, access, or even a phone line. During the early stages of the restoration, the owner and her children lived in a mobile home on the site (where the cabin now stands) until the cottage became habitable in 2001, though the renovation was far from complete.

Wherever possible, materials were carefully sourced from the land itself or reused from what remained in and around the original cottage.
The restoration has been a true labour of love and, in many ways, continues to evolve to this day.

Haycroft Cottage was featured in the publication Buildings & Renovations, celebrating its remarkable transformation.
