The North wing houses a sleek and contemporary kitchen with large island, built-in appliances and a larder cupboard in one corner. The room is light and inviting with a dual aspect with bi-fold doors opening on to the rear garden. The main reception area has been partially opened through to make an area which is more modern in feel while retaining its period feel. To one side of the central stack which has back-to-back inglenooks is the sitting room, the other side has the dining room/family room. With under floor heating throughout the ground floor, these are cosy spaces in the winter months enjoying a wealth of character.

Moving to the first floor there is a spacious landing which could easily be used as a study or reading area. The South wing has a large triple aspect bedroom to the far end with a storage cupboard to the side of the chimney. There is a further double bedroom with a view overlooking the fields which has attractive exposed timbers.
