The inner hall has stripped wood flooring, wood panelled walls and a built in cloak cupboard. To the rear lies the kitchen dining room, which has been created to provide the focal point of the home. This spacious and convivial space benefits from a Redfyre gas range with separate gas hob, beech and granite worktops, together with bi fold doors leading onto a truly beautiful garden.

The sitting room is a truly welcoming room with a wood burning stove set within an historic carved stone fireplace together with original beams, wood panelled wall and bespoke wooden shutters giving this room a lovely warm atmosphere.

On the first floor there are three excellent double bedrooms. The principal bedroom is deserving of special note, as it is particularly large, light and airy with a high ceiling and beautiful original features including a stone fireplace and exposed beams. Bespoke wooden shutters compliment the style of the room. Two further double bedrooms have views to the rear overlooking the garden. The bathroom features travertine floor tiles, a walk in waterfall shower, raised bath and wooden window shutters.
