The drawing room with open fireplace inter connects with the library creating a sense of open space. The farmhouse kitchen is light, well proportioned and fully equipped with an Aga and pantry.
Seamlessly incorporated into the accommodation is an adjoining traditional stone barn which has been carefully converted to create a fantastic reception hall with great entertainment versatility. This impressively proportioned room enjoys full height ceilings with exposed timbers and trusses and fine westerly views.
