A generous open plan lounge, kitchen and dining room is absolute heart of this home. Casting a wholly welcoming ambience, every effort has been made by the current owner to celebrate the historic integrity of the building whilst finding a balance with modern life. Expertly crafted and naturally light in colour, Coppice & Crown solid ash wood flooring, sustainably sourced from British estates adds depth and character to the space and features throughout the main living areas. Engineered alongside comprehensive sound proofing, the entire property is remarkably peaceful. The layout of the room cleverly avoids the rigidity found in many open-plan living spaces, using a classic L-shaped kitchen to achieve a relaxed ease of movement between the sitting, dining and cooking areas.
