Three bedrooms have en-suite shower rooms, while a separate family bathroom completes this floor. A further staircase leads to the second floor, where a single bedroom leads through to an attic bedroom with a super-king-size zip-and-link bed, which can also be arranged as twins, and a cosy reading area. A further bathroom with bath and separate shower completes the accommodation.
Outside, beautifully maintained private gardens provide a peaceful setting for enjoying the surrounding countryside, with a wood-fired hot tub offering the perfect place to unwind.
