There is also a family shower-room.

This property sits within 8 acres of grounds just outside of the Wiltshire village of Box and there are plenty of walks to enjoy from the doorstep in the private woodlands.  The streams that run through the grounds add to the charm of this superb property.

Lovely secluded cottages in a very quiet part of South Knapdale on the Ellary Estate - an infrequently visited part of Argyll but one of the loveliest. Close to the head of Loch Caolisport.
