Set on a perfect 2.5 acres in the heart of a relaxed rural environment and surrounded by astonishingly scenic countryside, this beautiful home, recently extended to offer an incredible 6 bedrooms and 3 living areas, is filled with warmth and light and radiates a peaceful, comforting ambience.
A stretch of tree lined driveway leads from the quiet, bitumen road frontage, through extensive gardens and past a cute copse of apple trees to the attractive rendered brick home. Studded with big old shady trees, the gardens have distinct separate areas in which to chase the sun and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.
