The inside of this detached brick building is set out over two storeys, with pale walls, elegant wooden floors and large, dark-framed windows allowing natural light to flood into the interior. On the ground floor, the open-plan living space allows guests to spend time all together, whether cooking, eating or planning tomorrow’s fun. Bring home your finds from farm shops or foodie outlets and whip up gourmet meals in the contemporary kitchen, which features marble-finish worktops. A breakfast bar for four means you can keep the cook company as they work, and there’s a dining table which seats six overlooking the back garden – lovely for tucking into long and sociable meals. Quiet nights in could include a good book by the warming flames of the wood burner, a board game or a family film on the Smart TV. Upstairs, the king-size master suite includes a TV, an en-suite shower room and access to the balcony at the back of the house. The second room is a double and the third bedroom houses a double bed with a single bunk over. A sleek family bathroom completes the handsome interior.




In mild weather, slide the patio doors open to stroll out onto the lovely deck, where you’ll find comfortable outdoor seating, ready for relaxing in the sunshine as you look out over the open area of lawn beyond. Parking for one car is on the gravelled drive at the side of the house, making arrivals and departures easy, with further spaces available in the main car park.
