Santa fe, vintage oak laminate flooring flows through into the stunning sitting room with bifold doors framing countryside views and flooding the vaulted room with natural light. The stone-surround fireplace with slate hearth houses a second log burner.

Adjacent to the sitting room, also with access to the rear dining terrace, is a snug-cum-office space also with feature beamwork.
