The 2 barns together have been renovated to the highest specification. The spacious interiors boast modern decor with country touches to create a home away from home with 5 star comfort! We are going to be in a cosy, peaceful haven with underfloor heating, oak beams & staircases and pretty views from the bedroom windows. We will certainly be cosy with the log fires in both the lounge areas too! With a lovely long dining table in both barns there will be plenty of space for crafting, sewing, quilting, crochet & sew on! Plus a sociable space in the heart of the home for meal-times too!
