Here you can sink back into the sofas and relax with friends amongst the eclectic furnishings, the room enjoys high ceilings and a dual aspect with stunning views, and for chilly autumn evenings, you can draw the shutters and enjoy a good movie. A small sun room is situated off the lounge, where you can relax with a good book away from the crowds or build your empire with a game of monopoly, and for morning coffee you can step out onto a small terrace and watch the world go by. An open stairwell leads you to a formal dining room again finished with the same eclectic style and perfect for any celebration, a table and chairs take centre stage along with a lounge sofa for after dinner. For summer dining you can open the French doors onto the terrace. The main kitchen area off the dining hall is a well-equipped space with electric oven, induction hob, microwave and wine chiller. A small characterful utility area offers a fridge, dishwasher and washing machine. For muddy boots and dogs there is a small lobby with bench and hanging space for coats. So, when the day is done climb the stairs where you will find three beautifully finished bedrooms spread across two floors. The first floor offers a cosy double room finished with an arts and crafts style where you can wake up and enjoy views across the many roof tops and gardens.
