Great sized house, especially for multiple families/generations, plenty of space for kids to run around and for everyone to get their own quiet space when needed.

Great sized house, especially for multiple families/generations, plenty of space for kids to run around and for everyone to get their own quiet space when needed. The house is pretty dated and in need of some upgrades, the oven didn't work but Tony responded quickly and brought a spare one to us from their tea shop, however it was incredibly dirty inside so we chose not to make food at the house, which added a fair expense eating out every day! The kitchen felt quite grubby and the oven trays in the drawer were greasy. The seat pads at the dining table are covered in stains, as are the white leather sofas and one of the cushions is really worn away. There were some wall stains (possible damp) behind the tv in the dark living room. On a plus side the bedrooms were clean and the bedding was lovely and clean and comfortable, there is a lot of parking which is rare and good outdoor space. It could be an incredible place, it just needs a bit of money spending on it!
