Property description
The front is approached off the High Street leading into the entrance hall which leads through to the dining room and then further into the main home.

The dining space has plenty of room for a table and chairs and has had wood floors, wood panelling to the walls and exposed beams. The dining room flows through to the kitchen and the home office is to your right, there is also a pantry which is shelved and perfect for storing food.
The home office has shuttered windows, hard wood floors and a window seat in the chimney breast. The kitchen has a an Aga in the Inglenook fireplace with the same hard floors coming though from the front of the house. the kitchen is made of dressers and cabinets with wooden worktops and a door leading to the rear garden.

On the second floor there are two double bedrooms both having ensuite shower rooms and then on the third floor there are two further bedrooms, one is used as a studio at the moment, and then a Jack and Jill bathroom room with a shower over the bath.
