A flight of wooden steps rise to a room (9 sq m).

Pool

To on side of the courtyard is a swimming pool within as secure walled enclosure.

Cottage (for renovation)

To the rear of the property, with its own access and own garden is a building that was formerly a small cottage. Subject to any relevant planning permissions, this could be renovated to provide habitable space.

Gardens

This is a large house with substantial outbuildings in the heart of an attractive village - it could make a great family home but equally offers potential as a bed and breakfast.
