The lower ground floor accommodates two further double bedrooms, both with built-in wardrobes and one with en suite shower room, and the main bathroom. 

The Annexe provides two bedroom reverse-style accommodation which has been recently and sympathetically built, using recycled stone to complement the main barn - giving the appearance that it has been standing there for years.
