The cottage side of the property comes with three of the bedrooms, at ground floor it is configured with a large kitchen/breakfast room with a range of floor mounted units including cupboard and drawer sections with work surfaces over and integrated hob. There is access through to the utility room which makes for a practical arrangement. The generous sitting room provides perfect space for entertaining and relaxing, there is a shower room which means this room could easily be a large additional guest suite if so required.

The barn is accessed from the cottage via a glazed link which acts as a garden room and offers is a great space for relaxing and from which to enjoy the outlook out over the front and rear gardens. A real feature of the barn is the magnificent vaulted kitchen dining/family room, this is a fabulous open plan living space and contrasts perfectly with the adjoining cottage. The kitchen area comes with a comprehensive range of bespoke fitted units including cupboard and drawer sections with work surfaces over. A large central island provides further storage and preparation area including a breakfast bar. The vaulted ceiling with its exposed joists makes a real impact and off the dining area are large doors which open on to the extensive rear terrace with views over the gardens beyond.
