The house has been beautifully rebuilt using the best quality materials; a very fine solid oak staircase is a particular feature of the house. The large kitchen/dining room has been designed with modern living in mind and features a wood-burning stove and a raised dining area; double doors lead from the kitchen to a terrace outside.
