DESCRIPTION
The front door opens to the spacious living room, boasting an open fireplace with log burning stove sat upon a tiled hearth with an oak beam mantlepiece, reclaimed hardwood parquet flooring, and a large window to the front of the property with exposed beam detailing and views of the front garden and farmland.

There are a range of bespoke kitchen units made from reclaimed timber, with patterned tile splash backs, a Belfast sink and space for a dishwasher. The kitchen is floored with large natural limestone tiles, which benefits from underfloor heating.

There is a separate WC and wash hand basin at the end of the utility room, which also has a storage cupboard with underfloor heating controls for the kitchen and utility. A door from the utility provides access to the rear.
