One of the highlights of the property, this is situated in a gin gang (circular room) and is bursting with character in the form of exposed stone walls, an LPG living flame gas stove, a full length feature window which allows natural light to flood in and a feature glass and oak staircase which leads to a mezzanine bedroom above.
To the first floor are a good size family traditional yet modern bathroom with a free-standing bath, and three bedrooms, including the master bedroom with both an en-suite shower room and extensive views over the garden and countryside beyond.
