Entering a private driveway, find the front entrance where you can step into open-plan living space, with all the facilities and furnishings you could need for a remote break to the countryside. Stepping into this well-designed, open-plan interior, you will be greeted to a wonderful base for a relaxing evening curled up with your partner on the sofa.
