To the rear of the farmhouse is a large traditional stone building that offers an abundance of enclosed indoor space for vehicles and a very useful workshop area with separate storage space on the first floor which could easily lend itself to an ideal office space.

At the heart of the farmhouse is a large kitchen and dining area which benefits from a central oil-fired Aga and wood burning stove. A staircase then leads to a first floor living area that represents a warm and relaxing space with a central wood burning stove and vaulted ceiling that exposes the stunning timberwork.
