Step inside the hallway and enjoy the simple artwork of the local market towns and places of interest. The accommodation offers open-plan living within the original shell of a farm building, you can relax with friends in the cosy lounge in front of the wood burner. For dining, the round table and chairs are perfect for a hearty supper of local produce whilst you enjoy the views. The kitchen area will test the best of chefs, cool and contemporary with an induction hob, microwave, fridge, freezer and dishwasher, and an island where you can keep the chef amongst you company. There is a utility room with washing machine and tumble dryer. When the day is done you will find the two bedrooms, a king-size with TV and another king-size enjoying countryside views. There is a bathroom with bath, separate walk in rain-water shower and WC. For additional storage there is also a cupboard in the hallway.
