Adjoining one side, there’s a handy utility room, while on the other side, you’ll find the dining room brimming with rustic charm, showcasing original exposed stonework and a wood burner. Featuring further roaring wood burners, exposed beams that add warmth and charm, and homely touches everywhere, the cosy lounge and drawing room are the perfect, peaceful spots for the entire party to relax.
