A separate bathroom is located downstairs, enhancing the property's functionality for busy family life.

The large and impressive garden is perfect for al fresco dining, entertaining, playing, and gardening. It offers a tranquil and private space with stunning views of the surrounding fields.
Location and Amenities
Willow Barn is located in a lovely area with plenty of local amenities.
