Each property will be built to a high specification, offering stylish modern interiors while retaining a strong connection to the surrounding countryside.

Externally the properties will enjoy private gardens designed to complement the natural setting, with attractive dry stone wall boundaries and additional stone gabions helping to create terraced levels within the rear gardens. Each home will also benefit from off-road parking positioned to the front of the properties.

Situated within a highly desirable rural ‘Golden Triangle’ location, the development provides the perfect balance of peaceful country living while remaining well positioned for access to nearby market towns, amenities and transport links.
