A step leads down from the hallway into a spacious, light-filled open-plan kitchen/diner with exposed beams in the high vaulted ceiling.

Outside, the generous lawn has plenty of garden furniture so you can sit out and unwind in the sun or take a stroll around the nearby private lake. Also, the dark skies are perfect for a night''s stargazing.
