Why they chose this property
Thus unique barn gives you privacy in the countryside with other cottages on site. The balcony is a super place to relax and take in the views and peaceful surroundings. Why pay more for a bigger property if there is only two of you. Get away from the hussle and bustle of towns, yet close by when you need them.
