Everything is conveniently set on one level, and the owners have thought of everything so you’ll have less holiday packing to do. The beautifully designed kitchen is a domestic goddess’ dream with a built-in electric oven and hob, a microwave, fridge, freezer, dishwasher and washing machine, while the dining table surely offers the best seats in the house with spectacular views of the countryside and hills beyond.
