This much-loved family home has been carefully remodelled by the existing owners and offers versatile and very generous contemporary living space. It’s perfectly placed for a stroll around the village and also privacy and seclusion. The house is well-appointed and was designed to fully complement the established village setting with double glazed sash style windows and attractive tile hung elevations.

The feeling of space and light is immediate with a welcoming galleried reception hall. The generous living accommodation includes a sitting room with a wood burning stove together with bi-fold doors opening out to the garden.
