Great house. Perfect for three generations of family. Young ones loved the garden. Older ones loved the setting and the amazing view. Watched Marsh Harriers over the Warren every evening

Although downa quiet track which could be muddy when wet and full of potholes, this is a fabulously located 'cottage' with wonderful amenities close at hand. It looks over marshland which is full of all kinds of birds and wildlife......hen harriers and muntjack deer to name but two.
The house is well equipped and the management company proved helpful when we had a query.
Well done Angela!
