Recently refurbished in period style, the property offers charming and spacious accommodation, including a light and airy sitting room with open fire. Period features such as the Venetian-style windows, original bread oven and wrought iron Regency porch enhance this special holiday home.
The house sits in a large, secluded walled garden with garden furniture, BBQ and two Regency summerhouses.

Just outside the village is The Hirsel Country Estate, picturesque home of the Douglas-Home family. The estate offers lovely woodland and lakeside walks, excellent birdlife, an estate museum, craft workshops and the 18-hole Hirsel Golf Course.
Visitors can enjoy excellent fishing, golf, riding, cycling and walking in the beautiful surrounding countryside.
