The property was originally built as stables and is believed to have been converted into three cottages at the turn of the 20th century and subsequently made into one home in the 1960s.

Updated in subsequent years this delightful home offers spacious, yet cosy accommodation overlooking the beautifully landscaped south-facing rear garden. Salient features of the property include a large sitting room with a wood-burning stove and a bright dual-aspect dining room with French doors leading out to a swimming pool area to one side.

On the first floor there are four bedrooms and three bathrooms including the en-suite master bedroom. A central dressing room area has a door leading to a first floor balcony which provides magnificent views of the rolling hills.

The garden is another key feature of the property, extending to a fifth of acre.
