A staircase rises to the first floor, where there are two double bedrooms, a family bathroom, separate WC, and a large airing cupboard, all centred around a light-filled landing with Velux roof light.

This includes two double bedrooms, both with mezzanines, one with a window, and a third large bedroom with views over the village green, plus an additional bathroom with bath, WC, and basin. The property is heated via two gas boilers, one servicing the former commercial wing, the other for domestic use. Wooden flooring runs throughout much of the property, enhancing the sense of continuity and traditional character.

External Areas

French doors from the former dining room lead to a paved patio area, while beyond lies a large lawned garden, tiled log store, and a number of outbuildings offering excellent storage or development potential.
