Downstairs Description

The main access leads into an impressive hallway leading into an elegant dining area with large refectory table which seats ten guests comfortably but which can also seat up to twelve for more informal entertaining or candlelit suppers. This extends into a sunlit open plan kitchen with integrated appliances.

The original ‘gin gan’ is a spectacular feature of this property, with its traditional wheel-house or round house offering a respectful nod to its past life when donkeys or horses were the gin (engine) to the threshing barn. With its slate roof, stone walls and traditional spoked beams, it is beautifully complementary to the light-filled, contemporary interior overlooking the garden. Add a wood burner, generous seating and rich kilim rugs to the mix and you have a perfect space for hunkering down after a day of exploring.

A ground floor bedroom adds some extra flexibility with en-suite bathroom and dressing room.
