The lounge/kitchen/diner is all open-plan so as you prepare dinner in the kitchen, you won’t miss out on conversations in the lounge. The rest of the room offers a dining table, beautiful wood burner, comfortable seating, smart TV/DVD and hi-fi. Upstairs, the king-size bedroom has access to a private balcony which is a wonderful spot to really soak up the countryside views.

This spacious bedroom also has its own en-suite bathroom with separate shower and bath, WC and heated towel rail. Please note that there are sloping ceilings. As well as the private balcony, there are also doors from the kitchen which lead out on to a charming, enclosed rear garden with patio and small orchard.
