The lounge is paired with sumptuous seating, and a dining table for four people, all sitting before the Victorian feature fireplace, and its glow surround, which is effortlessly projected around the room. Relax here in the evening for a cosy end to the day. The ground floor is also joined by a fresh white family bathroom with a walk in shower, and a beautiful king-size bedroom lifted by low lighting, with fitted wardrobes included. Continuing the front-facing aspect, the single bedrooms are each soothingly presented with neutral decor, sloped ceilings, and comfy cushions for an all-round calming effect. You will look forward to a peaceful night's sleep, followed by a lovely morning in the breakfast room/kitchen which is character-fully centred by a range oven, with a pretty table, and collection of appliances to make your stay that much more comfortable. For a change of scenery, why not take your warm cup of tea out to the little courtyard, a delightful place to settle down and plan out those up and coming adventures.
