Exceptional detached single-storey property in a beautiful village. Red Roofs sits in a generous 0.28 acre plot offering flexible accommodation, parking for multiple vehicles and a mature garden.

There is a large modern kitchen diner with access to the garden. A beautiful lounge with a bespoke oak storage/display unit.

The summerhouse is well insulated and would make an ideal home office.
