Studio Apartment

Our Studio Apartment is annexed to our property but is detatched and offers a good level of privacy. It's located on a pretty country lane ascending a steep hill leading up to thousands of square acres of woodland and beautiful secluded countryside offering endless choice of footpaths for walking/running/mountain biking. It is located 5-10 mins walk from the center of the town.

The Studio has a double bed and a sofa which can be a single or a double when unfolded. Studio can therefore easily accommodate a single adult and child or couple and child.

There is a fully equipped kitchen area also with small electric hob, small oven, fridge, cupboard space, dining table, kettle, washing machine, coffee machine, microwave, dishwasher, iron amd ironing board. The kitchen area has interesting views of the distant sky line and the neighbouring historic house

There is also a separate shower room with WC, and wash basin.

The studio is heated by under-floor heating but also has a wood-burner for cosiness in the colder months. Wood provided.

Attatched to the annexe is a decking area with table and chairs, a good sized garden on a slight slope which offers lovely views at the top, with a large trampolene, summer house, large table and chairs/parasol and outdoor cooking/dining facilities. There is sunshine in this garden from midday onwards. Dining at the top of the garden on a warm summer evening is sublime.

It all has a lovely country lane feeling with much wild life and owls may be heard at night in the surrounding trees.

There are some steep steps to the studio so unfortunately it isn't suitable for somebody with accessibility requirements.

Parking is directly outside the studio with space for two cars. The large secure garage is free for use for storing bikes, camping stuff and a car if required.
