This family lounge, like the dining room, is open to the apex of the roof and again features exposed timber beams with windows/doors to three sides providing sunshine throughout the day. Centrally positioned doors lead to the gardens while a second set of doors open to the sheltered, west-facing courtyard garden. These two rooms have light oak flooring extending through them. From the dining room, doorways lead off to the kitchen with bedroom four/second sitting beyond or to the principal bedroom area in comprising three double bedrooms, and family bathroom.

The detached double garage has twin up and over doors to the front and an external staircase running to a first floor balcony including glass balustrading from which to enjoy the southerly aspect over gardens and grounds and onto the meadow beyond; doors from the balcony open into a multi use hobbies room with WC / washroom.
