Pull up to the property where off-road parking for three cars is available at the front, with a further space to the rear, before stepping inside and leaving coats and walking boots in the welcoming entrance hall.

The bright sitting room is enhanced by large bay windows that frame views of the front garden and surrounding hills, while inviting sofas, a TV and a woodburning stove create a lovely setting for relaxed evenings after days spent exploring.

At the centre of the home is the generous kitchen/diner, where freshly brewed coffee can accompany a leisurely breakfast before setting out for the day.

The induction hob, ovens and air fryer make mealtimes easy, while the dishwasher takes care of the clearing up, leaving more time to gather around the dining table or unwind on the sofa with a favourite drink.
