In the house you'll find plenty of books to read, there are paintings on the walls and rugs on the floor.
We have an eclectic mix of crockery in a well equipped kitchen with a large cooker and dishwasher. There is also a charming sitting room with a comfortable sofa, a big family table and a log burner for Autumn evenings.

On the first floor is a double bedroom leading through to an ensuite dressing room/bathroom with a roll top bath.

Adjoining the main house, is a large, deep, ancient stone hangar with comfortable seating and large table and chairs, making the perfect place for alfresco eating, playing or relaxing, when the heat of the sun makes it too hot to run about outside.
