In addition to the family bathroom, three of the bedrooms have ensuites.

There is ample parking space on the paved driveway which is protected by an electric gate.

A spokesman for Sowerbys said: "Although the original concept was to create the perfect 'lock up and leave' holiday home-from-home, this property has been used for the last year as a main home, thus proving it is ideal for both.

"It is positioned on the quieter side of what can become a very busy village, yet is just a few minutes' walk from all the wonderful attractions that make Burnham Market so popular all year round."
