The property also benefits from its own water supply, offering an additional feature of this individual rural home. Buyers should establish the nature of the water supply, its maintenance requirements and any relevant testing or servicing arrangements during the conveyancing process.

Despite its secluded surroundings, the property remains within convenient driving distance of everyday amenities, with a Sainsbury's supermarket approximately 15 minutes away by car and a local post office around 10 minutes away, according to the supplied details. The reported low council tax is another point of interest for prospective purchasers, with the current charge and property band to be confirmed.
