The country-style kitchen is beautifully equipped for preparing delicious meals and has plenty of character, with a separate dining room for enjoying meals together and a large sitting room. Each of the four bedrooms are tastefully appointed, one with an en-suite, allowing flexibility for sleeping arrangements. To the front a patio and private lawned garden, which has fine views over fields, provides a wonderful area for relaxing and enjoying the sun.
