The adjacent garden room extends into the garden, providing a lovely second sitting room with direct access out to the garden. The bathroom is also on the ground floor and is beautifully fitted with a roll top bath, separate shower, concealed cistern w.c. And washstand with hand basin.

On the first floor, there are three rooms, all of which would take a double bed. The main bedroom is dual aspect with beautiful, aged, wide floorboards and views over the church. Bedroom two interconnects to bedroom three, and is currently used as an office. It again has the same wide floorboards and fitted cupboards.
