HOUSE
The accommodation is well presented and enhanced by the current owners making the most of the exposed beams and old fireplace, whilst incorporating a contemporary kitchen and stylish bathrooms. The extension completed about 20 years ago has been sympathetically incorporated with the use of lots of natural wood and laid out to allow some flexibility of use with two staircases.
