The ground floor is primarily one bright and airy room with an open staircase in one corner leading up to the bedrooms and bathroom. In the opposite corner is a very well appointed kitchen with deep sink, gas hob, electric oven, fridge and assorted kitchen units and work surfaces. The entire ground floor is tiled making it very easy to clean and adds to the rustic feel of the space. Wooden framed double glazed windows light the spacious living area.
One of the key features of the living room area is the fantastic stone fireplace and exposed oak beams. All exposed wood has been treated. To add heat on cold winter nights we have installed a powerful 9.5kw wood burning stove, which adds to the overall rustic charm of the granite stone fireplace. The close proximity of the kitchen and dining area means the host is never too far away from the guests.
Purchased in 2004, the Farmhouse had a complete renovation which took 8 months. The old roof timbers, joists and original slates were removed and replaced with complete new timber work and metal guttering. 4 large Velux windows were also added to the new roof structure. The entire loft space is insulated and is very well ventilated. Due to the creation of bedrooms and bathroom on the second floor - new beams and walls were added and the entire structure rewired and plumbed. Throughout the entire house all wall surfaces are painted white - and all exposed stone has been sand blasted to rejuvenate the original colouring and texture.
