One has an operational wood-burner in situ, and the other could also be put into use if an individuals desires. The current owners have completely refurbished the property during their ownership including a re-wire and new boiler in 2015.

Heating is provided by an oil fired boiler and propane gas bottles feed a Rangemaster hob.

It is tucked away in a private rural setting providing complete privacy and tranquillity yet also offering the security of near neighbours. It's gardens are a true delight with fully enclosed natural boundaries shielding the front patio from the wind and creating the perfect sun trap for entertaining. The rear garden is also fully enclosed perfect for pets and children. In the rear garden is a workshop with concrete hard standing and electric connected which could be utilised for many purposes.

Here there is a comprehensive range of facilities plus major hospital for the county and a selection of private and state schools.
