Once a doctor’s surgery, this unique space has been fully refurbished to create a stylish and welcoming retreat with its own private entrance, garden and patio. Inside, you’ll find a calming, home-from-home atmosphere with tasteful décor, solid furniture, and thoughtful touches throughout. The open-plan living area features a fully equipped kitchen, dining table, settee, and a smart TV, making it easy to unwind after a day out. There are two bedrooms: Main bedroom with a king-size bed, wardrobe, cupboards, desk and space for a crib or playpen Second bedroom with two singles that can be joined into a king-size, plus ample storage The wet room-style bathroom has a walk-in shower, toilet and sink. You’ll also have access to a separate utility room with a washing machine and tumble dryer. Outside, enjoy the private patio and garden – ideal for an evening salad, glass of wine or quiet moment in the fresh air. Fast WiFi and off-road parking are included. Guests enter via a side path to their own private front door. The entire bungalow, patio and garden are exclusively yours during your stay. Parking is available either on the hardstanding space provided or directly in front of the main house. We’ll be next door if needed, but otherwise we’ll leave you in peace – unless you fancy a chat!
