ACCOMMODATION

Whitemoss Lodge
The main house at Whitemoss Lodge is centred around a large open plan kitchen / dining / living room. Its many picture windows fill the room with light and make the most of the lovely view. The focal point of the kitchen is the red two oven AGA and a kitchen island, beyond which is space for a large dining table. At the other side of the room there is plenty of space for comfortable seating which can be arranged around the wood burning stove or beside French windows which open to the garden. This versatile room is ideal for family life as well as for social gatherings. On the ground floor there is also a double bedroom with en suite shower room and a large store with potential to be a dressing room. There is also an office/reception, a utility room, a WC, rear hall and stores. Stairs lead up from the living room to a landing off which are two further double bedrooms, both with en suite facilities.
