Set in a picturesque, elevated position within the village, this reverse-level home is spread across three floors, accessed via a set of stone steps leading to the front door (please take care).

A utility room with a washing machine and drying area is just off the hallway, as well as a separate WC. From here, three steps lead you up to the first floor, where the spacious lounge/diner awaits. Here, you can unwind on comfortable sofas, enjoy panoramic views, and relax in front of the wood burner. For your entertainment, there is a Smart TV.

Outside, the balcony offers the perfect spot for a drink, with a table and chairs to sit and enjoy the view. Alternatively, head down to the lower patio area, where you can fire up the BBQ and enjoy al fresco dining with more outdoor seating. The large, natural garden is a true haven, filled with mature trees and shrubs—ideal for family games, hide-and-seek, or birdwatching. For those feeling more adventurous, there’s a stile at the bottom of the garden, leading to a footpath into the village. Or, you can easily access the footpath via steps leading to the road.
The property offers parking for one car on the driveway, and a second car can be parked on the street in front of the property, subject to availability.
