A very nice property in the middle of a village.5 take a ways within 100m all sell excellent food at reasonable prices.The town is 10 minutes drive away with excellent shopping.A lot of National Trust houses within 1 hours drive.Phone reception is poor. But Wi-Fi is good.The exit from the driveway has poor visibility, ideally the hedge hight should be reduced so you don’t have to nudge over the path onto the road to see the traffic.
