"There s so much to love about this wonderful home. The breathtaking dining terrace is one of three outdoor spaces and has panoramic views over rooftops to the hilly countryside beyond. With off road parking, a large garage workshop, modern kitchen, two bathrooms and elegant decor, this is a splendid home suitable for all types of people.

Set across three storeys on a quiet lane in the centre of the village, enter the home from the front dining patio area into the middle ground floor. The stunning kitchen diner opens out on the right and double French doors open onto that splendid large terrace. On this floor, the current owners use what has previously been a fourth bedroom as a combined snug study and the main bathroom is adjacent to that.

On the lower ground floor is a delightful sitting room, a bedroom with huge utility cupboard more on that later! and a sheltered outdoor seating area betwixt the off road parking space and cavernous garage workshop. In keeping with the versatility of this home, that outdoor seating area was previously a second parking space and can easily be reinstated as such.

To the first floor are two more double bedrooms and a shower room.
