Solid English Oak has been used throughout the barn including staircases, flooring, skirting, windows, sills, doors and architraves. The trade mark feature of any barn are the exposed beams, of which there is an abundance whilst still retaining light and high- ceilinged rooms; with several standout beams running through the barn, transported locally from West Bay Harbour. You will also be impressed by exposed stone walls, wide original stone archways and arrow-slit windows. From almost all ground floor rooms triple glazed oak doors and French doors open onto either the beautifully landscaped terrace or garden.
