A fitted log burner creates a cosy focal point, while a ceiling beam adds rustic charm.

Bedroom two features a rear-facing window, radiator, carpeted flooring, and ample space for a wardrobe or storage.
To one side, a traditional outbuilding offers excellent additional storage. Part of this space is used for log storage, while another section is ideal for garden tools or workshop use, with power connected to part of the building.
The rear garden is a true highlight of the property, designed to make the most of its far-reaching countryside views. A patio area provides the perfect setting for outdoor dining and entertaining, leading onto a large lawned garden bordered by mature trees and fencing that ensures privacy and a natural backdrop. At the bottom of the garden, the current owners have created a charming chicken enclosure, adding a touch of country life. The oil tank is neatly and discreetly screened within the garden, preserving the home's attractive outlook. Multiple outdoor taps and thoughtful landscaping make this space both practical and picturesque, ideal for families, gardeners, and those who love rural living.
