The welcoming dining room leads through an archway into a well-equipped, quality fitted kitchen – ideal for preparing relaxed family meals.Victorian doors, reclaimed from the farmhouse, open into a spacious sitting room, where a vaulted ceiling, exposed beams, and a charming stained-glass window (rescued from a local chapel) create a truly special atmosphere. A wood-burning stove adds warmth and comfort, making it a perfect space to unwind after a day exploring.Two steps lead to a hallway and two generously sized, light-filled bedrooms, both overlooking the farmyard, along with a family bathroom featuring a shower and corner bath. Stairs from the dining room lead to a third bedroom tucked into the eaves, where velux windows frame far-reaching countryside views.A stable door from the kitchen opens with steps down to a large, enclosed lawned garden, sheltered by mature trees – ideal for children to play. To the front, a sunny gravel seating area provides a peaceful spot to relax and enjoy the farmyard setting. Steps from the kitchen also lead to a practical utility area and wet room, perfect for washing off sandy toes or storing walking gear.Perfect for walkers, wildlife lovers, and those seeking tranquillity, the surrounding area is rich in natural beauty.
