Offering a tranquil and attractive setting, it makes the perfect destination for a small family on holiday or couples travelling together. Part of a Grade II-listed, imposing farmhouse which dates back to circa 1680, this property boasts gardens extending to some 2.5 acres with a further 10 acres of paddocks for the owners' dressage horses.

Drive up a gorgeous tree-lined driveway and park outside the delightful, single-storey holiday home. The surroundings are simply sublime with views of open countryside, nearby stables and a lush and green orchard which help to create a blissful, rural idyll.

The relaxing ambience continues as you enter the property with an elegant living/dining room welcoming guests in.

Come bedtime and there are two well-appointed bedrooms, a double and a super-king-size. Both feature beamed ceilings and French doors leading outside and are the ideal place for resting weary heads at night and waking up in the morning when you can throw open the patio doors and enjoy a refreshing coffee on the patio while you plan your day’s activities.
