Upon entering, the delightful drawing room exudes warmth and charm with central stone fireplace and wood burning stove. This room is certainly generous and is an ideal space to relax and entertain.

The dining area has plenty of space for table and seating, ensuring comfort and convenience. There is a lovely rear hallway with built in bookshelves leading to the utility/cloaks/shower/WC room and also to the study beyond. From here a door leads out into the garden, making it a delightful home office.

Having once been two cottages, there are two staircases. To the right hand side there is a lovely galleried landing leading to three bedrooms and bathroom.
