The spacious entrance hall makes a memorable first impression, with warm timber flooring, decorative cornicing and an elegant staircase setting the tone for the characterful accommodation beyond. A particularly special feature is the charming window seat, framed by painted panelling beneath tall windows, with a log burner set within an attractive fireplace alongside.
