Of the property’s three entrances, the most practical is accessed directly from the driveway, opening into a welcoming Reception Hall. Spacious enough to serve as a Garden Room if desired, it enjoys very pleasant and private views through a bay window overlooking the mature Silver Birch tree at the front.  Wooden flooring and plenty of glazing allow the space plenty of light and a natural ambiance.

A wood-burning stove, set within a traditional stone fireplace, provides a cosy focal point for winter evenings, with the room equally suited to summer entertaining. Additional features include under-stair storage and a concealed sliding door revealing the staircase to the first floor.

Flowing seamlessly from the Sitting Room, the Dining Room sits conveniently between the living area and Kitchen, offering excellent potential to create an open-plan layout if desired.
