3 bedroom detached house for sale

This converted barn offers you the peace and tranquility that you would expect of a rural property; the only sound to disturb the quiet location is that of bird song and the passing tractors tending the adjacent soft fruit orchards.

The accommodation is set across two floors and consists of dining hall, sitting room, kitchen/breakfast room, utility and
