Thanks to underfloor heating, the barn stays cosy even on the coldest evenings and your dogs can sprawl out in any spot with warm coats and tails.

The lounge with a plush sofa invites you to relax while watching TV and completing the property on the ground floor is the king-size bed and a lovely fully tiled bathroom, walk-in shower, and WC.
