Flowing from the lounge is a beautiful garden room, featuring a vaulted ceiling, exposed timber beams and rooflights, creating a relaxing space from which to enjoy the garden and surrounding setting throughout the year.

A separate sitting room provides further flexible living accommodation and would make an excellent snug, reading room or additional family lounge.
