Here you can sink back into the sofas and relax with friends amongst the eclectic furnishings, the room enjoys high ceilings and a dual aspect with stunning views, and for chilly autumn evenings, you can draw the shutters and enjoy a good movie. A small sun room is situated off the lounge, where you can relax with a good book away from the crowds or build your empire with a game of monopoly, and for morning coffee you can step out onto a small terrace and watch the world go by. An open stairwell leads you to a formal dining room again finished with the same eclectic style and perfect for any celebration, a table and chairs take centre stage along with a lounge sofa for after dinner.
