Living Area

Due to the age and character of the property, this room has been transformed into a wonderfully cosy living space and has been decked out with luxurious furnishings and plush details.
The furniture is rich with bold colours and textures and creates a really snug feeling in the room. Centrally heated throughout means you will be toasty and warm and the wooden floors, exposed stone walls and soft lighting make it a wonderful room to spend time with your guests cosying up in front of the welcoming log burner. There is also a smart TV in here so it's a great space for hunkering down and watching films with the family.
