About This 7-Bedroom House

Seven bedrooms spread across two floors. The first floor has a king-size with wash basin, a twin with wash basin, a single and a family room with four-poster double and single bed. The second floor offers a king-size with wash basin, a single and a dorm with five single beds. Four bathrooms include private shower cubicles and separate WCs.

The house works brilliantly for walkers and cyclists with secure bike storage for three bikes and a large boot room.
