Deep pan-drawers within the central island offer an array of storage solutions. Also housed within this slick black granite-topped unit is a wine fridge, complemented by an inbuilt red wine rack in the base unit opposite. Overhead, a feature light mingles with spotlighting, and also with the in-built speaker sound system, wired throughout the house should you require it.

Next door lies your guest bedroom, currently housing a set of bunk beds and still enough space for a wardrobe and storage cupboard. From here enjoy vistas out to the fields and trees beyond.

Time now to discover your master suite. Across from the stairs, your private master bedroom is tucked peacefully back from the other bedrooms, allowing you sanctuary and refuge.

Storage struggles are an issue of the past, courtesy of your fleet of fitted oak wardrobes. Pull out your fluffiest robe and head into your pristine en-suite. Gleaming marble-esque colours coat the back of your walk-in shower, reflecting the light from the double window. The perfect bright and refreshing space for your morning routine. A heated rail warms your towel whilst a white vanity unit stashes all of your products.

Returning to your bedroom, begin the day looking out over the abundant grounds of Barley House Farm to see the horses cantering in the fields, and the peaks of the distant mountains. Bliss.
