5 bedroom house to rent

A stunning and scenic five bedroom family home tucked away amidst picturesque countryside with an abundance of wildlife and land flanking the river Boyd. Set within five acres of private grounds, these two 16th century mill workers' cottages were united by the current owners to form a magnificent family house; there is also a substantial garden annexe which makes for an ideal home office. The idyllic position overlooks a weir with the river flowing by and the rural countryside beyond.
