We have over the last 5yrs or so been working on the apartment - it sleeps 5 long-term and 7 short-stay a weekend.
Cars can pull right up to the door.

• The kitchen is complete.
  There is a dishwasher, a clothes washing machine and an eletric cooker as well as a microwave etc etc

• This area has a door leading to a glass-covered stone veranda with various climbing plants, honeysuckle, white gapes, various clematis and has seating and a gas BBQ.
  
• It in turn leads onto the rear (North) garden, more stone terracing, Canadian canoe, wind-surf board, golf green and the rear gate with hill walks past the organic farm directly behind the house.
  
• It also leads on to the East garden with the terrapin ponds, sailboat, parking area for 6+ cars and eventually the public road and the small garden by the steam.
  This contains a swing I designed 'specially for paraplegics(squeezing the double ropes moves the swing,.
  No leg-swings needed.
  There is seating there too looking up the stream to the waterwheel.
