However the property is sadly in need of decorating. The gas hob is a nightmare, burners do not turn down much! The kitchen area overall is very badly planned.

The farm shop is a great addition, so you do not have to get out much to buy food. The driveway is easy to find even at night. The only thing to watch out for is cooking with any amount of steam - let alone something slighly burned. The fire alarms are extremely sensitive. Best to always cook with multiple windows open and the fume extractor on maximum.
