It has been awarded 3* status. Have a look at the website www.bunkhouseuk.co.uk

On the end of the bunkhouse and accessed from outside are two rooms: a store room and drying room for use by bunkhouse guests. Doors lead from these to another two storage rooms which are, at present, for private use.

EXTERNALLY

The property stands beside a quiet minor country lane in a rural location. A gated entrance gives access to a courtyard, on one side of which stands the bunkhouse. There is room here for several cars to park off the road.

Steps lead up from the yard to the side of the house.

Across the lane from the house there are further areas for parking, one would be suitable for the addition of a garage if required (and subject to consent) as it has the footprint of a former outbuilding.

To the rear and side of the house is a large garden. This is split into a number of smaller gardens which vary in level and each is planted with a wide variety of shrubs, trees, fruit bushes and apple trees.

The Buildings

In addition to the bunkhouse and standing at right angles to it is a further STONE BARN. This is currently used as a large store and measures approx. 8.4m x 5.45m (27’6 x 18’). It has a concrete floor and light and power are connected. Door leading to a rear large WORKSHOP measuring approx.8.3m x 3.6m (27’ x 11’10). This is divided into two rooms with light and power, door leading to rear garden.

This barn affords the opportunity to extend the holiday business if desired. It would make an ideal holiday let or an extension to the bunkhouse, subject to consent.

On one end of the barn is a CAR PORT and LOG STORE.

The Land

The land lies across the lane from the house. It is, in the main, sloping but levels out at the bottom. It is currently left to pasture with a small orchard of plum trees at the top.

SERVICES

Mains electricity is connected. Private water and drainage. Oil-fired central heating. Council Tax Band F.
