The sitting room/dining room to the left of the entrance hall showcases traditional beams and travertine flooring. The garden room is connected to the sitting room/dining room, an addition made by the current owners. This room features oak beams and wrap-around glass windows, offering uninterrupted panoramic views of the garden and fields.

Continuing along the office/library, you'll find a further study with a separate bathroom equipped with a double shower. French doors open on to the garden, allowing for a seamless
indoor-outdoor flow.

The principal bedroom is a haven of tranquillity, with traditional oak beams, skylights, and an entire glass frontage with French doors that open on to the garden. This room beautifully combines the charm of the old stable block with modern comforts.

One of the highlights of this property is the converted outbuilding, which serves as an annexe complete with a kitchenette, sitting room/bedroom, and shower bathroom. This space is perfect for accommodating guests or those working from home.
