Located at the end of a rustic country lane, surrounded by open countryside it undoubtedly offers the opportunity to live the ‘Good Life’ and yet is within a short walk of the village shop, public house/restaurant and marina that provides access to the glorious River Blackwater…..ideal for boating enthusiasts!

What the Owner Says When I acquired the property it was in a terrible state of repair, so to say that it has been a labour of love would be an understatement!

That said, I have thoroughly enjoyed the process of bringing it back to life and it really is the perfect place to bring up young children who can explore amongst the surrounding countryside.

The location really is particularly special, with an eclectic range of wildlife constantly coming to visit and there is nothing better than sitting on the sun terrace with a glass of wine after a hard day at work watching the sun set over the river Blackwater.
