    The warm and inviting family room offers dual aspect views, as well as its own wood-burning stove and could also be utilised as a music room or playroom. There is large rear hallway which in its own right is sure to impress, with an extraordinary ornate staircase leading to the first floor which had been reclaimed from a church, a cloakroom with WC and hand wash basin and utility room lead off this fascinating rear hall.

There's a lot to like about this house, the attention to detail and period features, set in beautiful surroundings. I was really taken aback by how good of a location this is in.
