The traditional yet contemporary charm of the property continues into the amply-equipped kitchen where you can cook up a storm for your group before gathering around the dining table to catch up; no need to worry about washing up, load the handy dishwasher and enjoy more quality time together. Boasting two bathrooms, you're able to enjoy a glass of wine whilst you soak in the bath with an overhead shower or wash off the day's adventures in the en-suite walk-in shower.
