It is full of character, with exposed original beams and features an inglenook fireplace with a Yorkshire stone hearth and a living flame gas stove, making this a wonderful focal point and a perfect space for relaxing.

Dining Room: The garden views from the French doors cannot fail to impress your guests as you entertain in this spacious dining area. There is plenty of room to accommodate 8-10 for dinner; however this would equally make a wonderful place for family life and the hub of the household, ideally located
adjacent to the kitchen via an archway.

This is a great space for the discerning chef; fully fitted units, an inset hob with 5 burners and a self-cleaning Miele double fan oven and combination microwave.
