Wooden French doors open out to a sun terrace and the surrounding gardens, offering a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor living. Doors also lead to the front and to the master suite.

The master bedroom is a true retreat, featuring a vaulted ceiling, fitted wardrobe, and bespoke French doors that open directly onto the garden, with far-reaching views over open fields. The en-suite bathroom includes a bath with shower over, wash basin, WC, and window to the front.

The guest suite, accessed from the kitchen, benefits from its own fitted wardrobe and a spacious en-suite bathroom, comprising bath with overhead shower, pedestal basin, and WC. A double bedroom with delightful garden views, it provides ideal accommodation for visitors or family.

Set within beautifully landscaped grounds, this unique home perfectly combines character and comfort in a peaceful village setting.
