Characterful touches add warmth to the space, including oak internal doors and attractive wood-effect flooring that blends harmoniously with the exposed wooden beam. Adjacent to the kitchen is a conveniently located WC with a wash hand basin, as well as a separate understairs storage cupboard, which is plumbed for a washer/dryer and provides practical solutions for day-to-day living.

The sitting room with dual-aspect windows flooding the room with light, yet cosy with a wood-burning stove set within a striking stone inglenook fireplace, complete with a slate hearth.

A staircase off the kitchen leads to the first floor, where you’ll find two generously sized double bedrooms, each benefiting from its own private ensuite bathroom.
