This is a compact self contained annexe preferably for ONLY 2 adults, possibly plus a child: it was designed for senior members of our family and was modernised using period IKEA furniture. We do not accept guests' pets as we have our own two dogs on the premises. We prefer weekday lets to professionals, but might be persuaded to let the annexe at weekends too - the annexe is not meant for long-term guests.
About 30sq metres in total, it contains an equipped kitchenette with hob, microwave, fridge, sink, kettle, coffee-maker, crockery, cutlery, waste-bin, washing-up liquid etc, with additional storage and work surfaces including a fold-down breakfast bar and two overhead cupboards. There is a wardrobe for a few clothes. Note that there are no clothes washing-drying or Dishwasher facilities. The annexe has underfloor heating controlled by an individual wall thermostat and a wall heater/ cooler unit. Three sets of French doors open to our informal gardens and patios.
There's a compact shower/toilet with a medicine cupboard, mirror, hand-basin and a small cleaning-materials storage cupboard: please bring towels, soap, toothpaste etc. .
The bed-sitting room has two convertible double sofa-beds, a wardrobe, and two breakfast bar-stools for adults. Duvets, cushions and bed linen are provided and are stored under the beds. There is a SKY satellite TV (no recording), and an open storage bookshelf.
The main house and the annexe are approached via in/out gravel driveways and gates, with the main house about 50ft back from the road, behind hedges. We park our own cars here so please drive very carefully at walking pace. There is a parking area for guests to the annexe-side of the house. The whole property, its entrances and the car parking areas are overseen by 24/7/365 security cameras.
The annexe itself is in the back garden, about 10ft from the house and 30 ft behind a fence with push-button code access. A security key to the annexe door locks is supplied to guests on a large tag, but if the key gets lost, all 3 annexe security locks would have to be changed at considerable cost so your deposit would be lost. In summer, behind the annexe is a small patio with a table and chairs for your use.
We ask for full rental payment upfront before you use our Annexe. We also ask for a Security Deposit when you arrive. If all is well when you are leaving, then we will return the deposit in full, but if there is any damage other than regular cleaning and washing, the Deposit will be partially or fully forfeited. Please bear in mind that this is a family home: whilst we live quietly and always do our best not to intrude on anyone's privacy, please do the same for us.
