Great property with separate bedroom spaces, enjoyed the views.
Great property with separate bedroom spaces, enjoyed the views. Close to walk down to the village. Lovely kitchen with everything you need in it. Great large deck with shade. Two levels on deck could make it tricky for small children.,
