The main home offers generous living space with five bedrooms, three reception rooms, and four bathrooms. Historic charm is evident in every detail, from centuries-old exposed beams, to stone walls that ensure warmth and stability year-round. The sitting room, with a carved wooden fireplace and rustic features, leads seamlessly into the dining room. Here, beams sourced from ancient ships and a real-flame gas fire set the tone for cosy gatherings. Practicality meets charm in the kitchen, where original flagstone floors and solid oak worktops offer both functionality and aesthetic appeal. The kitchen flows naturally to the family lounge, a spacious room enhanced by modern lighting, exposed beams, and views over the landscaped gardens.
