The flexible and spacious accommodation is arranged over 2 floors and briefly comprises; steps lead up from the garden to the entrance door which opens into the hallway and gives access to the studio/office, ideal for working from home with pretty outlook over the gardens. The hallway opens into the well-fitted kitchen/dining room with a useful pantry. Situated to the rear of the studio/office is a double bedroom and modern bathroom, also accessed from the kitchen. The sitting room is a particular feature of the property and was the former coach house, now with attractive Elm staircase, beamed ceiling, woodburner and French doors opening out to the gardens and taking advantage of the lovely views. Also on the ground floor is a 2nd entrance door, a further double bedroom and utility with Belfast sink and oil fired boiler.

On the first floor there are 2 further double bedrooms, both with fitted wardrobes and additional eaves storage.
