The setting is defined by breathtaking 180-degree panoramic views across rolling countryside, providing a constant connection to the surrounding landscape and an ever-changing outlook over the active landscape. Practical features such as ample parking on the former sand school, utility spaces and storage are seamlessly integrated, ensuring the property meets the demands of modern rural living while preserving its period character.

Located in a peaceful rural position, yet within easy reach of local amenities and transport links, this home offers a rare balance of seclusion, sustainability and accessibility.
