A downstairs WC add to the practical layout. A bathroom featuring roll top bath and original beams and separate shower room are located on the ground floor and a further hallway lead to three cottage style double bedrooms.
Steps down from the hallway take you to the oldest part of the home. A formal dining room with thick stone walls overlooking the courtyard garden.
Upstairs, you'll find a cosy study which could act as a fourth bedroom for guests if necessary. A breath-taking sitting room enjoys vaulted ceilings and exposed timber beams. A fabulous and spacious room with an abundance of charm and character which acts as an excellent socialising space.
