Towards the end of the hallway is a large storage cupboard underneath the stairs, and a staircase leading up to the first floor.

On your right is the second reception room which can be used for a number of different purposes, as it works perfectly as a second living room, or a separate dining room if desired, or even as a downstairs bedroom and office, which the current owners previously used it as. With dual aspect double glazed windows creating a lot of light, this enables the room to be split into sections. The initial section is a great size and comfortably fits a double bed or large sofa, while the other section, which is briefly separated by a small brick wall and wooden beams, can act as an office or playroom.

The patio area is situated in the most private area of the garden, set behind a stone wall with steps leading up to an area laid to lawn and another smaller patio area.

There are a number of outbuildings which have been cleverly improved and added, such as the detached wooden framed building which is currently used as a bar. This building has electricity, electric pull down shutters, a built-in bar and space for outdoor furniture if desired. Towards the end of the garden is another outbuilding which was originally stables but has since been insulated and damp proofed in order to make it a functioning space, or even an annexe if further work is done. The stables have been separated into separate spaces, with one side acting as an outdoor WC, ideal for guests if you have a summer party.
