The ground floor features a dual-aspect kitchen, semi-open plan to an adjoining dining room with French doors opening onto the patio, plus a separate utility room. The sitting room boasts an authentic inglenook fireplace with woodburning stove, while the garden room provides a seamless connection to the outdoor space.
On the first floor, a generous landing creates an ideal quiet retreat. Three double bedrooms include two with stunning views down the Axe Valley, each complemented by an en suite bathroom or shower room.

The Linhay provides superb single-storey living, centred on a spacious open-plan sitting room and kitchen. French doors open onto a decked terrace positioned away from the farmhouse, perfectly framing the stunning east-southerly views.
The layout includes three double bedrooms, one with an en suite bathroom, complemented by a modern wet room for added convenience.
Outside - Approached via a long private track (partly shared with a neighbour), the property enjoys a wonderfully peaceful setting.
