Character features remain, including exposed beams, brickwork and stonework. The kitchen/breakfast room is double height and the breakfast area has lots of space for a dining table and chairs - there is direct access to the terrace from the kitchen.
Accommodation in total comprises: Living room, kitchen/breakfast room, study, three bedrooms and a family bathroom.
