Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
There’s more than a hint of a 70s feel to Newton’s Cradle. If that does it for you, you’ll be in heaven, but it’d be inaccurate to describe the aesthetic as particularly contemporary. It’s a solid home though, that covers all the basics for a good stay. We really liked the back garden, too. It’s not Versailles, but simply having the shaded area is a lovely addition, particularly as it’s furnished.
