Enter through the back door and come into the spacious utility room where a wide range of appliances sits, amongst boot racks and coat hooks for when you come in from a wet winter walk. Once you are all dry, head next door to the snug and put some kindling in the woodburning stove and take the weight off your feet on one of the classic armchairs. Enjoy a quiet evening before the open fire in the sitting room with a favourite film showing on the TV. For a special occasion, set the dining table in the dining room and gather under the exposed beams to indulge in a roast dinner, prepared within the delightful kitchen using the large range cooker.
