Leading off to the right is a sitting room with two feature fireplaces, one gas, one open and a triple aspect bringing in an abundance of light, and views over the garden. A door opens onto the terrace. Off the hall to the left is a large dual aspect study/dining room with an open fireplace.

The hallway leads in to a cosy snug with a further feature fireplace. Positioned to the rear of the property is the sociable and open triple aspect kitchen. This boasts a floor to ceiling apex window offering exceptional views over the garden and countryside beyond. The kitchen has underfloor heating and many built in appliances along with a breakfast bar, room for a large dining table, Velux window and access to the garden.

The room enjoys a dual aspect with the rear view overlooking the outstanding countryside beyond.  There is a large guest bedroom offering a dressing room with a handwash basin.
