Restored stone farmhouse in stunning setting with pool

Situated at the end of its own private track, with no neighbours or traffic noise, this traditional stone farmhouse has been completely restored and has 3/4 bedrooms & 2 bathrooms.  The farmhouse is surrounded by a cluster of pretty stone outbuildings and enjoys 360 views over the rolling countryside and is set in just under 2 acres of gardens with fruit tress, exotic plants, large lily pond and plenty of grass for fun & games!

The once vast stone barn has been imaginatively redesigned to incorporate the large 12 x 6 swimming pool. The pool is overlooked by a large shady alfresco dining room; the perfect place to linger over long, lazy summer lunches and poolside evening drinks. From the pool's wide terraces one can enjoy stunning, far reaching views over the surrounding countryside.
