The dining table for six is the perfect gathering place for lively conversations and home-cooked feasts.

Beyond, the main sitting room exudes warmth and character, where two plush sofas and an armchair surround a woodburning stove.

As the fire crackles, its glow fills the room, blending perfectly with the sense of history in the building, while a Smart TV provides modern-day entertainment.

A utility room with a washing machine and freezer adds practicality, while a second living/dining room creates a more intimate setting.

With a sofa, armchair, dining table for two, and another woodburning stove, it’s a charming corner for quiet meals or evenings by the fire.

The third sitting room offers yet another inviting space, complete with two armchairs, a sofa, and a further woodburning stove, each flicker of flame complementing the home’s timeless character.
