charming steading conversion, the house sits within a welcoming community and offers generous family accommodation extending to over 3000 sq ft arranged over two floors.

A central reception hall with limestone flooring and a feature staircase provides an elegant introduction to the home. From here, the spacious farmhouse-style kitchen is accessed.

The sitting room is a wonderful dual aspect space featuring exposed oak beams, engineered oak flooring and a wood burning stove. French doors open directly onto one of the two south facing courtyards, creating a superb indoor/outdoor flow and ensuring an abundance of light throughout the day. Adjacent to the sitting room is a cosy study/snug with a further wood burning stove, leading through to the generous well-appointed boot room.
