This house is arranged in two separate & independent sections. I live in the east/top wing and the west wing is sometimes available for paying guests. There are separate entrances and only the garden and the pool are shared. I have a dog Rufus who is friendly but will not welcome other pets. The pool is open from June to September. There is a vegetable garden, good parking and views out to the surrounding countryside. The house is cool in summer and has a wood stove for warmth in winter.
