As you enter the property through the old front door the porch is the perfect spot for removing wet outdoor gear before stepping through into the beautiful living room.

The kitchen is spacious and very well-equipped, with polished stone tiles, a central island and a dramatic lantern ceiling that floods the space with light. This airy room is equipped with an electric AGA with 4 gas burners, a griddle plate and electric oven, fridge, freezer, microwave, dishwasher, Nespresso coffee machine, toaster, and sandwich maker.
On your right is the entrance to the old police cells. As you step down, you’ll find a rack with hooks for coats and space for shoes and walking boots, this leads to the spacious utility room with a washing machine, tumble dryer and butler sink. Set into the wall above you is the old, still-barred cell window, there is also a wet room and WC hidden away in the cells as well.
Dining Room:
To the left of the kitchen is a step up to a rear hallway, which runs along the length of the centre of the house. The open-plan design flows through to the beautiful dining room. Underfoot there are polished wood floors, and the room is lit by two large windows, beautifully framed by elegant drapes. The large wooden rectangular dining table is in front of the wood-burning stove and seats eight comfortably, it’s the perfect place for relaxed, convivial meals by candlelight. Tucked into the corner is a soft leather armchair and under the stairs, a basket packed with board games for rainy days or lazy afternoons.
Living Room:
The entrance between the dining room and charming living room is defined by an original wooden beam running overhead. This elegant yet cosy room has two plump, cushion-filled sofas that will seat three and four comfortably. In front of the stone fireplace, there’s a large button-cushion footstool, there are occasional tables to rest a drink on and a 52” smart TV sits to one side atop a wooden chest. Beautiful curtains frame the windows at the front and side of the room and there is also a door to the porch and front door.
The ground floor is warmed by underfloor heating in addition to the large stone fireplace with a double-sided wood-burning stove, which creates a cheery and snug atmosphere in both the dining and living room.
An open, custom-built carpeted staircase, with full bannisters, rises from the rear hall to the first and second floors, where you’ll find four bedrooms and the family shower room. A statement pendant chandelier hangs in the vaulted ceiling.
