Set within a peaceful countryside setting, this stunning four-bedroom barn conversion boasts immaculate interiors as well as spacious accommodation with beautiful views and a lovely garden with parking and a garage.

The first-floor landing is accessed from the entrance hall and leads up to four bedrooms, one with an en-suite, and the shower room.
