In one corner the first floor space has been converted into a spacious, comfortable and cosy office with adjoining kitchenette and shower room. The space is heated from a wood burning stove and brightly lit from both roof lights and a low window and is accessed via a cantilevered external staircase. In the opposite corner of the courtyard, a two storey section has been converted into a high quality holiday cottage (as part of a planning consent to create 3 further cottages in the buildings). The cottage has been finished to an exemplary high standard and offers self contained upside down accommodation with a superb combined living kitchen upstairs and a bedroom and bathroom on the ground floor. Between the office and cottage the L shaped range of barns offer about 2,500 sq ft footprint of mainly 2 storey accommodation including a magnificent open former threshing barn.
