These living areas feature unusually high ceilings providing a great feel of space. On the first floor there are two bedrooms and a bathroom.

The terrace sits perpendicular towards the end of a quiet no-through lane and no. 4 is furthest from the lane, being accessed across the front of the other properties or privately via a gate into the main garden.
The property is situated on the edge of the village of Broughton, which offers everyday amenities including a Post Office/store, doctor’s surgery, church, public house and a primary school.

The cathedral cities of Salisbury and Winchester are some twelve and thirteen miles distant respectively.
