A quiet setting off the beaten track up a lane which may not suit nervous drivers, with plenty of local pheasants around the surrounding fields. Good property and facilities but not that good and internet service for any heavy users.

Good central location with lots of places of interest nearby. Quiet and rural. Comfortable and cosy. The enclosed courtyard garden is a safe space to enjoy a cuppa in the sun with the dogs. The lane to the farm is narrow with limited passing places.
