The Dwelling

Tucked away in a peaceful setting, this first-floor property is part of a charming Grade II listed Edwardian building converted into apartments. It benefits from an abundance of natural light through the large dual-aspect windows in the main living room, along with other period features such as high ceilings and wall panelling.

At the rear of the sitting room, a doorway leads to a small hallway, providing access to the bedrooms. Here, you will find two well-sized double bedrooms, each featuring fitted wardrobes, as well as a family bathroom with a shower over the bath.

Outside

The property benefits from residents parking and expansive communal gardens which are well-kept with a variety of established trees, a garden pond, two timber-built pavilions and tennis courts that can be used for a small fee. From the communal gardens, there is direct access to an array of footpaths over the surrounding rolling countryside.
