Accommodation Overview

Upon entry, the main living room welcomes you with exposed beams, a beautiful stone fireplace housing a wood-burning stove, and stairs leading to the first floor. A door opens to the kitchen diner, and a second reception room—currently used as an occasional bedroom—leads off the living area. This space is served by a stylish ground floor shower room featuring a corner shower cubicle, concealed cistern WC, vanity basin, and tiled flooring.

The dining area features pew-style seating, country cabinetry, integrated full-length fridge/freezer, exposed beams, and Velux windows.

Leading from the kitchen is a utility room, complete with boiler housing, tiled flooring, wine fridge, plumbing for laundry appliances, storage cabinets, and an atrium ceiling that floods the space with natural light. A further versatile sitting room or bedroom adjoins, fitted with wall-mounted cabinetry, a concealed bed, and bi-fold doors opening to the courtyard. A second shower room with modern fittings, tiled flooring, and heated towel rail completes the ground floor.
