The accommodation is characterful and the house is complemented by just over 3 acres of well-tended gardens, mini ménage, vegetable garden, 4 small paddocks, orchard, pond etc. which have all been a labour of love for for the current owners and is all surrounded by an assortment of well established, mature trees, plants and shrubs.
