This unique arrangement provides excellent flexibility for multi-generational living, an additional income opportunity or holiday letting.

The main house also benefits from a separate utility room and WC. Throughout, the property retains a wealth of original character, including leaded windows, exposed stone walls and striking double-height ceilings.
