Adding to the property's appeal is an additional detached cabin. This flexible space could serve as a superb home office, allowing you to separate work from home life, a dedicated guest suite, or another fantastic opportunity for a holiday let, capitalising on the area's popularity. The possibilities are genuinely endless.

Set within an approximate 0.62-acre plot, the property boasts extensive south-facing gardens, providing a wonderful outdoor haven for relaxation, play, and gardening enthusiasts. The generous grounds offer plenty of space for children to explore, pets to roam, or for simply enjoying the sunshine.
