Directions: Turn into Thomas Bassett Drive, opposite the Post Office in the village centre. Our driveway is immediately left. Look for two pillars with large ball finials either side of our driveway and a “Swallows Eaves” sign on the right hand pillar. Drive across the front of the house and parking is on the left opposite the front porch. Welcome to Swallows Eaves.
