We have four bedrooms (1 king, 1 double, 1 twin, 1 single) and full central heating. One of the bedrooms is on the ground floor with an adjacent shower room and toilet, suitable for someone with limited mobility. In our driveway, there is plenty of parking space for three cars. We have a spacious garden with plenty of seating for you to enjoy the views over the countryside with miles of footpaths around the adjoining fields and small woods. The area is flat which makes it ideal for walking and cycling. For families, we have plenty of children`s books, dvds, lego etc. We have a home office at the end of the garden with power, heating and wi-fi, which make a great workspace. At present the broadband connection to the house is adequate but there are plans to install a fibre connection at some point in the future.
