There are some lovely mellow exposed ceiling timbers, a stunning exposed brick wall and chimney breast incorporating a woodburner. To the right is a sitting room with French doors to the terrace and beyond, a garden (or dining) room with another two sets of French doors facing south and west and opening to the gardens.

The quality of the finish through this fantastic barn conversion is clear to see, but when I entered the vaulted reception I was just blown away.
