At the other end of the living room one step leads up to the kitchen, a welcoming farmhouse style room with a Rayburn for cooking as well as central heating and hot water. Two brick arches with a central pillar link the kitchen to the dining room, which has a lovely outlook to the garden and the repeated arched windows. Upstairs, the lovely principle bedroom has views over the garden and adjacent field. There is plenty of built-in storage and a most attractive re-fitted shower room. The second bedroom is also a good double and the family bathroom has been re-fitted in contemporary style with quality fittings.
