The principal vaulted sitting room is a standout space, showcasing exposed beams, a substantial brick fireplace with woodburning stove, and a bespoke underlit sideboard. The room is wired for surround sound, with concealed speakers integrated throughout the house. Further reception spaces include a formal dining room, ideal for entertaining, and a charming snug offering more intimate everyday living and useful office or play room.
