Description
Winrow Barn is on the eastern side of the village and was the principal house of a cluster of properties now being separated and sold. A smart driveway leads from the village road and to a parking area in front of the porched gateway with gates opening into the gardens.
(The property also has access from Church Lane on the eastern side.)
A pathway then leads to the house which has spacious and flexible accommodation including a sitting room situated on the first floor and which has breathtaking views. There’s also a sitting room on the ground floor which can be used as a fourth bedroom if required.

P.S.
A few extra comments
Mortgages – we can help.
Bridging loans – We can help.
Moving house is complicated and stressful when a sale and purchase needs to be tied together in terms of finance and timing.
Sometimes we can negotiate an agreement to suit both sellers and buyers.
Sometimes a bridging loan can solve problems and remove stress.
