As a family we have always loved Ramshackle Cottage. Our mother always dreamed of living in a period cottage and our father, who was a highly skilled boatbuilder, sympathetically restored the cottage in the 1980s with great attention to historical accuracy, creating a very comfortable home for them both to enjoy into their retirement.
Our mother, who was a passionate gardener, tended to the garden over all those years. She also used the name of the cottage for her locally renowned business “Ramshackle Bears” selling handmade collectors Teddy Bears locally that she displayed in the front windows of the cottage.
We both have very happy memories of Ramshackle Cottage where they were very proud and happy to live.
