On the first floor there is a large living room dominated by a fireplace, a kitchen with two pantries, bathroom and a spare room with a loft (great for a playroom). A wooden staircase leads up to a large landing with a stone wall running the length, leading into two large bedrooms, large bathroom and a spare room with a balcony overlooking the valley. From the house the former barn is accessed having been renovated externally and partially internally, it can be incorporated to make further living accommodation to the house, a separate dwelling or a bed and breakfast business.
