The ground floor accommodation is extensive with two large reception rooms, each with characterful fireplaces, and the country-style kitchen room intact with large fireplace with wooden surround and mantle, leads to a separate utility / larder room, cloakroom and offers direct access to a charming, low-maintenance courtyard garden.
