A wonderful week - could have done with a second! An unusual property, being the end of a modern barn. It’s located at the end of a long road/drive. Watch the speed humps. A W 3 word location would have definitely helped: third.typhoon.vaulting . A very comfortable, well appointed property. The view from the front is amazing and the small flock of alpacas are a delight to watch!
