From the hall, doors open to the dining room, which overlooks the front, and the sitting room which overlooks the rear. This has a fireplace with log-burning stove and French doors opening to the undercroft with its attractive brick pillars. The dual aspect kitchen/breakfast room has a range of units and a three oven Aga and there is a walk-in pantry off the rear hall.
