ehind its charming stone and timberclad barn-style exterior, the home

interiors enhanced by the warm tones
of abundant exposed oak beams, framework
and window surrounds. On opening the front
door, you are greeted by a double-height
hallway which instantly impresses; showcasing
the home’s wonderfully airy ambience and highend, characterful finish with crisp white décor,
