Outside Description

There is a level patio area directly outside the property, complete with garden furniture.

The owners live in the main house next door, so would be on hand if you have any questions. The property is surrounded by fields and backs onto the hills.

The property is accessed via a private lane directly off the A39, the lane becomes steep and narrow in places so it's advisable to drive slowly and in first gear, being vigilant - as wildlife can appear out of the blue!
