The house is spacious, with a lovely family kitchen, utility and WC, separate dining room, study, sunroom and large sitting room with a wood burning stove. Upstairs a superb master bedroom with ensuite bathroom offers masses of space for a super-king bed whilst enjoying the best of the views the house has to offer. A galleried landing, family bathroom and two further double bedrooms completes the upstairs space.
