On the ground floor, the sitting room has a large bay window, exposed wooden floorboards and a fireplace housing a wood burning stove. There's also a bright and pleasant semi-circular sun room, and a bespoke kitchen with a superb wood burning stove and mantle place believed to have originated from a large ship. The fitted wooden units and parquet flooring are in keeping with the age of the house. The parquet flooring flows into the adjoining dining room where there is also an attractive feature fireplace.
