You’re welcomed by an inviting entrance hallway that flows through the ground floor: a bright sitting room, currently used as a library; an impressive 20ft-long formal living/dining room with a log burner; and a spacious open-plan kitchen/dining room ideal for cooking, eating, and entertaining. Practicality is covered too, with a handy utility area and convenient cloakroom.
