The property has been sympathetically upgraded by the current owners to an exceptional standard, while carefully retaining a wealth of traditional features including pitch pine doors, high skirtings and decorative cornicing.

On entering the property, a welcoming porch with striking flooring leads into the inner hallway.

A wood burning stove, set within an impressive granite recess with slate hearth and surround reclaimed from a local historic hotel, provides a charming focal point.
