A large dining table sits comfortably within the space, while a log burner adds warmth and character.

The adjoining kitchen is a standout feature, fitted with marble worktops, a large range cooker, integrated appliances and a central island, ideal for informal dining or food preparation.

A short drive will take you to the stunning house and gardens at Stourhead and the sublime Dorset Heritage Coast, whilst just across the border in Somerset is the Fleet Air Arm Museum at Yeovilton, offering stunning displays of historic aircraft, including Concorde. A fantastic location for all the family.
