They added: “A former dairy farm, there were plenty of character touches and we love the timbers, high ceilings and oak floors that fit with the rural surroundings.”

An oak-framed porch covers the front door, which opens to an entrance hall with doors to all rooms.

To one side is the luxurious family bathroom, with the two double bedrooms straight ahead.
