The principal bedroom benefits from its own en-suite bathroom, whilst the second bedroom enjoys an en-suite shower room, together with attractive views across the surrounding countryside.

This arrangement is particularly well suited to families, visiting guests or those seeking a degree of independence for extended family members.

The property is approached via a private driveway with electric entrance gates, opening onto an extensive parking area with space for several vehicles.
