A real bonus with the property is its south-facing garden accessed via French doors from the garden room. Here you can catch the morning sunrise and make use of the garden furniture supplied. The garden is mainly laid to lawn with a barbecue available for summer dining with all the family. The kitchen comes with all modern appliances most of which are Neff and a handy utility room – the perfect way to enjoy self-catering in your holiday home.
