Details

Entering through the porch, to the right is a cosy snug featuring a wood-burning stove and an adjoining store room. To the left, a doorway leads into the spacious living room, again with a wood burner, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. A study is accessed from the living room, along with stairs rising to the first floor. To the rear of the property lies the impressive kitchen, where contemporary design meets rustic character. The space showcases exposed timber frames, high ceilings and limestone flooring, complemented by bespoke cabinetry in blue and white tones with Corian worktops. Integrated appliances include an inset Belfast sink overlooking the gardens, a breakfast island with a feature exposed beam and a wine fridge beneath. Chrome vertical radiators and rustic shelving complete the look. An opening from the kitchen leads to the charming conservatory, currently used as a formal dining room, offering panoramic views of the surrounding gardens. A separate utility room provides additional storage and plumbing facilities.

The landing features neutral décor complemented by lattice-style exposed beams. The principal bedroom, located to the rear, boasts high ceilings, exposed timbers and a large built-in mirrored wardrobe.
