There are a myriad of things to do and see in and around the Village when you’ve laid down the power tools for the day and just want to enjoy yourself. Just around the corner sits The Castle, one of our favourite places to eat (check out the quinoa and beetroot burger – it’s epic!)

What a strange place.
Storage heaters put in at some point (70s, 80s?) but no other work done.

We fitted some like those (fours and singles, but in brass) at our last-but-one house in 2012
It'll be interesting to see the hammer price for that.....Mortgage-free for fourteen years!
