A feature Fireplace brings warmth and presence, while to the front, a once modest Snug has been transformed into a charming adjoining Library area where the owners bookcases and a piano create a cocoon for reading or quiet reflection.

This is a space designed for conversation, for long breakfasts and for gatherings that drift naturally towards the outdoors. A glazed door leads directly onto a wide Decked Terrace that benefits from the sun for much of the day. Below this, two further Patio areas provide room for a lovely garden or outdoor storage.
The first floor offers two characterful Bedrooms, both enriched with stripped floorboards, feature Fireplaces and tall sash windows that invite in the changing light. Bedroom 1 sits to the rear of the house, a generous and serene space ideal as a principal Bedroom or a peaceful retreat.
