Positioned to the left of the dining room is the principal sitting room, a wonderfully inviting reception room enjoying lovely views over the rear garden. The room is centred around a charming log-burning stove, creating a warm and cosy atmosphere, with wooden flooring continuing seamlessly through from the dining room.

Beyond the sitting room, glazed doors open into the fourth and final reception room, currently utilised as a home office and gym.
