The main barn exudes magnificence, boasting five generously proportioned double bedrooms, two ensuite bathrooms, an office, formal dining room, cosy snug, and a versatile 31ft gym room. The exquisite kitchen/breakfast room is adorned with impeccable cabinetry, granite worktops, and a matching central island, while a separate kitchen/utility area with a walk-in pantry and WC adds to the functionality. Original features, including large windows, exposed beams, and stone tiling, infuse the residence with rustic charm.
