    Located in an absolutely stunning position is this superb hilltop detached residence offering character six bedroomed accommodation with no immediate neighbours and enjoying far reaching panoramic countryside views.

From the hallway, stairs rise to a split level floor providing three bedrooms and a large bathroom. A further staircase leads to the main landing, two bedroom and a bathroom, together with store room/former kitchen which leads to a further bedroom/sitting room with separate access.
