On the ground floor there is a sizeable reception room with bay windows, wooden floors, 2 comfortable sofas, a large TV and a piano. This room is slightly sectioned, with one part benefiting from the large flatscreen TV and the other part (sectioned by the piano!) is perfect for wrapping up in a blanket and reading a book.
