Nestled at the end of a secluded, tree-lined drive, this property was constructed on the site of an old lean-to barn adjacent to a 16th-century house. It boasts a small, south-facing garden, ideal for sunbathing or enjoying a good book, along with convenient parking for one vehicle. The accommodation features a reverse-level layout that includes a spacious en suite bedroom and a separate shower room on the ground floor, while the first floor houses a generous 45m² vaulted kitchen/diner/lounge equipped with a wood-burning stove, creating a cozy atmosphere for relaxation.
