They are set close to the owner's fine granite and slate house in 50 peaceful acres of farmland grazed by cattle and horses. They have shared landscaped gardens to the rear (The Mill House has its own private garden and patio) and each has a sitting-out area with furniture, enjoying shared use of a barbecue area and hard tennis court.
