Used until recently as a seasonal guesthouse. Guests with tents are easily accommodated in the large front field away from prying eyes. The house is basically furnished, and includes a wood-burning stove. The bathroom has its own outside entrance for the convenience of outdoor guests. Some maintenance and minor renovations are recommended, but not absolutely necessary if you don’t mind the DIY vibe of the house. Nice covered terrace with a view of your field. Fenced off property. Quiet location with rolling hills and nearby woodland. Easy vehicular access.
