The ground floor is served by underfloor heating throughout, with a welcoming reception hall which features exposed timbers and an attractive oak staircase, whilst the principal drawing room benefits from exposed ceiling beams, an impressive brick fireplace housing a wood-burning stove and French doors opening onto the gardens. A separate sitting room provides further flexibility for reception, home working or occasional family purposes.
