Further details indoors:
This was once our home and we raised our children here: over a period of 20 years we developed it to the highest comfort and specification, and we've left it brilliantly well fitted so it's a real home-from-home. There's loads of space and children love playing up and down the stairs and in the study, which has windows on all sides. The house is full of fascinating nooks and crannies and is very well equipped, with washing machines and microwaves, hairdryers, DVDs and dishwashers, radios and sound systems, Internet Broadband and Sky TV (with all sports channels), iron/ironing board, linen and towels. The showers are powerful, the carpets, curtains, beds etc. of very good quality and we supply books and toys and DVDs, as well as a cot, high chair, baby listening etc..

A small patio garden that children can mess around in.
A lovely terrace (South West Facing so loads of sun) leading off the kitche/family room
