The well-sized kitchen has ample space for a small dining table and chairs, perfect for casual meals.

A little further on, there is an organic farm shop with a café, a traditional public house, and a primary school, making this an ideal location for families and those looking for a vibrant village lifestyle.

Outside, a large rear garden awaits your creative touch, offering plenty of potential to transform it into a stunning outdoor retreat. The property also benefits from off-road parking for two cars and the added advantage of no onward chain, ensuring a smooth and hassle-free move.
