The exceptionally light living room with both patio doors and skylight style windows, has space for a dining table and chairs in addition to seating and a wood burning stove. There is a mezzanine level located above the bedroom and shower room which provides excellent flexibility: it is currently used as a bedroom but has been a study and also further seating area.
