Set in picturesque countryside while remaining easily accessible, this collection includes two well-appointed bungalows, a spacious 4/5-bedroom barn conversion, and a characterful detached farmhouse—each enjoying their own private garden space and ample off-street parking.

A landscaped patio with hot tub enhances the outdoor space, creating a perfect spot for relaxation or entertaining.
The side entrance leads into a stylish breakfast kitchen, complete with a range of modern units and a central island with breakfast bar seating. A cosy snug leads upstairs and opens into a stunning open-plan living/dining area, with dual patio doors inviting the outside in.
