A cosy and comfortable living space is packed with homely touches, such as an inviting rug and checked throws placed in the room.
A strong wooden theme continues into the kitchen, where a dark, thick beam compliments the well-stocked surfaces and shelves.
The bedroom is also full of character, with sloping ceilings and a grand bed giving a historic feel to the space.
