Down by the Stream and next to a Leat...
Chew Magna is a lovely small village about 8 miles south from Bristol, where I was to-day, by it's nicer when it doesn't hail. The cottage that I saw was (that's interesting, two words, the same letters, the other way arround!) originally one of five. A long time ago they were converted into two dwellings, one out of three and 'mine', one out of two, but some enterprising owner built an extension , so giving it a garage and an additional bedroom above. They were originally approached from a footpath and originally had a single storey extension to the rear, which is now the front. The single storey has been extended upwards (along with the others) and the cottage is approached from the rear, or is that now the front? If you had to live there for the rest of your life, it wouldn't be a great hardship. It was next to a 'leat', a controlled water course and a couple of metres from a Winford Brook, but, as yet it has not flooded. I liked it and it's walled garden, a very pleasant spot down by the water with the ducks and drakes passing, the pub down the lane... pity about the hail...

Besides the hail, the scene you described sounds enthralling. I especially liked the walled garden. My wife keeps a fence around our garden because of rabbits. On most nights we go outside and sit on our Memphis Patio Furniture and watch the sun set or we'll water the garden. We do a lot outdoors and our patio furniture is a good way to relax.
