To one side of the hall is the formal dining room, an inviting space centred around an attractive feature fireplace, ideal for both everyday dining and entertaining. Opposite lies the principal sitting room, a wonderfully atmospheric reception room rich in character. A substantial inglenook fireplace with inset wood-burning stove forms a striking focal point, complemented by exposed beams and a traditional enclosed stone staircase rising to the first floor.

Adjoining the kitchen is a particularly useful walk-in pantry, providing excellent additional storage and enhancing the property's traditional farmhouse feel.
To the rear of the house is a practical utility and store area, perfectly suited for muddy boots, outdoor clothing and the demands of country living.
The first-floor landing retains much of the property's original character with exposed timber and access to the three well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom is particularly attractive, featuring sloping ceilings that enhance its character together with the benefit of an en suite shower room. The remaining two bedrooms are served by a well-appointed family bathroom, completing the accommodation.
