Inside, original features abound - from six-inch timber floorboards and shellacked walls to leadl light windows and lofty studio ceilings. The heart of the home is the inviting country kitchen, large enough to gather family and friends around the eight-seat dining table, complete with a 'Gourmet' slow combustion wood heater with wood fired oven below. A formal lounge with Jetmaster gas log fire creates a cosy haven for cool mountain nights. Three double bedrooms, two bathrooms (one with clawfoot bath), a library which also has versatility as a bedroom, sunroom, and enclosed verandah offer comfort and charm throughout.
