Nice village with good pub.The rooms however were damp with mould on some furniture. It stunk and had to keep windows open. Really not good for your health. Just because property is old is not a reason to not have damp treatment undertaken.

The shower needs re grouting and the outside garden needs a good cut and tidy up.
