The Hive is a wonderful, self-contained annexe adjacent to the owner’s home which has been renovated in 2021 to a very good standard, and you can expect to see a few decorative bumble bee items inside! Downstairs is an open plan living space with a patio door leading to your own enclosed patio area with seating. There is a fantastic bathroom with a spacious shower cubicle. You can access the mezzanine bedroom upstairs by the Victorian spiral staircase and the bedroom has a Japanese-style double bed for that extra touch of unique elegance. There is a comfortable sofa bed in the living room suitable for two additional guests, providing a comfortable nights rest. The parking space is outside the property on the private driveway.
