This elegant space has a large bay at the rear and has a dual aspect with six sash windows providing plenty of solar gain. Stripped wood flooring runs underfoot and a wood burner sits within the attractive fireplace. A large cupboard is currently used as a drinks cupboard with an additional fridge freezer. Completing this floor is another generous room, currently used as a home office but could be used as an additional bedroom if required.
