Stylish fitted out and comprising of an open plan living space with a kitchenette, bedroom and shower room this quality cabin works so well with the main home.

Gardens and Grounds
This amazing property is located off a quiet country lane and surrounded by its glorious grounds, which amount to just over 3.6 acres. The property is approached off a tree-lined country lane via a five-bar gate, which in turn leads to the driveway. This meanders down to the house with a small section leading off to the right serving the cabin. There is a large gravel parking area to the front of the property suitable for several vehicles. Off here is a roller door, which takes you into the impressive garage/workshop (59'7 X 17'11). This vast area is ideal for the motoring enthusiast or simply a great creating/practical space, which could be further divided if needed. The grounds have been divided into three distinct areas along with keeping the ethos of nature and ease of management in mind. Surrounding the home are lawns as well as a spacious timber deck leading off the back of the home, which provides an ideal entertaining space as well as enjoying sunsets. Leading off is a large paddock with raised vegetable beds and fruit trees. This is enclosed by natural hedging and makes the perfect children's recreational space. The largest section of grounds is the wildflower meadow with its meandering pathways, which in turn lead to a large wildlife pond at its centre. The cabin is situated in this area and the whole is an oasis of calm to sit and enjoy nature.
