Inside, the accommodation is attractively laid out and full of charming features: the kitchen has been hand-crafted from oak, and the sitting room has a working Rayburn. The main drawing room has a lovely period fireplace and access to the garden room behind. Upstairs is the master suite and four further bedrooms and a beautifully-fitted bathroom.
