Situated in this popular location enjoying superb views to the rear and occupying a super-sized plot with well-manicured gardens adjoining nearby grazing land.

This gives a clue to its past as it was a public house with quite a history. A level area to the side provides off road parking for up to four cars.

This charming detached property looks fairly conventional to the front but looks can be deceiving, once inside the accommodation opens up over four floors to the rear.

The interior is well presented and regularly maintained including a recently refurbished bathroom.
