This room also features an open coal fire with stone surround which provides some lovely cottage charm.

The room would however lend itself to different uses depending on preference and also features an ornate fireplace as a focal point. Opposite the dining room, the kitchen is fitted with a good range of wooden front wall and base units and features a rear facing window affording outlooks directly over the gardens. A useful utility area extends off with access to the garden. The master bedroom is located to the front within the original part of the building and benefits from a dual aspect, with both windows having the original working shutters, high ceiling and ample space for free standing furniture. A useful facility is provided by the cloakroom which is located mid way along the hall and is fitted with a WC and pedestal sink. The hallway extends towards the rear of the property where the three remaining bedrooms are located, all pleasant double rooms with lovely outlooks although one is currently utilised as a home office.
