With a formal appearance from the outside and a relaxed air within, this holiday house was renovated and refurbished in 2016.

The two front rooms are the main reception rooms, with an L-shaped drawing room and a classic dining room.
To the rear is the country style kitchen and utility room, which can be accessed by a side door, making it more convenient for kitchen access with food shopping.With ramp access to the side of the house, there is a wheelchair friendly ground floor bedroom, with nearby accessible shower room.
