The location of this property is superb, being only a short walking distance from the centre of the village and yet having wonderful rural views from the south-facing front rooms.

The well-stocked mature gardens feature a central cedar tree with circular bench, lawned areas, a well-maintained swimming pool, a brick/timber summerhouse and boiler room. Additionally, there is an ornamental pond with arched bridge over.The village is charming with a range of local shops, library, restaurants, a small supermarket, and a lovely park.
