With an aesthetic colonnade along the front of the barn, this single storey cottage boasts gorgeously homely interiors. The real heart of the home, the large lounge has vaulted ceilings with rustic exposed beams and lots of windows facing south over the garden and pool. In the summer, open up the French doors to let fresh air and sunshine come flooding in and create easy passage to the garden. In the evening, the wood burner fired up for sheer cosiness as the grown ups gather around for a glass of wine. As the big kids natter, let the little kids congregate in the adjoining snug lounge and find their favourite film on TV as bowls of popcorn are passed around. On the other side of the snug, one end of the property is taken up with the generously sized kitchen and diner. Here, lots of worktop space and equipment make daily routine a breeze, from your morning coffee to your family meals. Set about familiarising yourself with all that s available and store away all your goodies. For extra convenience, there is even a washing machine and dishwasher provided. Later, after a long day of playing in the garden and exploring the surrounds, thoughts will swiftly turn to bed. At the other end of the property to the kitchen, a long corridor takes you to the four bedrooms. Pick your favourite room between the two doubles, twin and bunk rooms and look forward to restful nights sleep. The master bedroom, a 6ft double, has a door to the garden and en suite shower bathroom. There is also a family bathroom, which has a shower over bath.
