The Coach House is discreetly located within the heart of the village and yet offers all the benefits of a period country house with gardens on three sides and open countryside sitting behind. The approach via electric wrought iron gates reveals an attractive facade and large courtyard, bordered by the garage block, workshop, stable and guest two bedroomed self contained cottage. The privacy is striking and has provided the current owners with the opportunity to create delightful gardens that can be enjoyed from the principal rooms of the house.

The house dates from the late 1900's and has received a number of additions since then, most recently a garden room to the rear which cleverly connects the beautifully appointed kitchen/living room to the family room and provides the perfect venue from which to enjoy the garden.

Completing the accommodation is a recently constructed summerhouse, finished in cedar cladding and equipped with a plush bar area and w/c - the perfect venue for entertaining and garden parties.

The gardens themselves have been designed to draw the eye from every angle, a meandering graveled path dissecting large colorful layered beds and clipped shrubs. Several lawned areas provide the perfect place for children to play and a breeze house an inviting spot for alfresco dining.
