Upstairs, there are two well-sized bedrooms. The main bedroom benefits from a generous en suite bathroom, while the second bedroom includes built-in wardrobes and lovely rural views.

Outside, the garden is a true highlight — beautifully landscaped with a manicured lawn, colourful planting, and a sun terrace ideal for alfresco dining or simply soaking in the countryside. The property also offers private parking for two cars, as well as a garage currently used as a workshop.

Whether you're seeking a tranquil retreat, a base for walking and exploring the countryside, or a turn-key home in a desirable rural village, this property ticks all the boxes. A rare find in an idyllic setting — early viewing is strongly recommended.
