and the sunsets can be spectacular. Through an archway the dining
room also overlooks the lake and has French doors onto a patio, it
has a table that seats eight but extends to seat twelve and is
separated from a large open plan kitchen by a breakfast bar. The
kitchen is well equipped and fully fitted with granite topped units,
a gas range cooker, microwave, dishwasher and fridge/freezer. There
is a utility room with washing machine, tumble dryer and small
fridge, a planted conservatory and large garage that can house two
cars, bikes, fishing equipment, etc. The hall has French doors

a barbecue and outdoor dining furniture.
Downstairs a twin-bedded room overlooks the lake and there is also a
double bedroom, family bathroom and cloakroom on this floor.
Upstairs has a master bedroom with king-size bed, dressing room and
en-suite bathroom with wet-room shower, all overlooking the lake,
and an en-suite twin/ double bedroom.
There is a wide screen television with Sky Entertainment, Sports and
Children's Channels and DVD in the lounge, music centre with I-pod

A cot, high chair and stair gate are available on request but
parents should be aware that the lake is unfenced. We regret that we
are unable to accept pets or smokers in the house and are unable to
allow water sports on the lake.
