Comprising of a lounge, kitchen, study, conservatory, bathroom and two bedrooms this cosy home offers the opportunity to enjoy country living set in a woodland style garden.

Running through the garden is a stream which passes under the disused bridge at the front of the house. Attached to the side of the home is a stone outbuilding of good proportions which has two wooden access doors as well as power and light.
