The window seat makes for a perfect reading nook, whilst double doors open out onto the bucolic terrace, providing an easy flow between the oh-so-wholesome living room and the beckoning oasis of the garden. A Smart TV sits in the corner, while an adorable antique writing desk offers a place to jot down your travel reveries.

Through the double archway, the open-plan kitchen and dining area promise decadent meals with loved ones, while an exquisite wooden table set amongst stunning rustic furniture and décor is perfect for lazy brunches admiring countryside vistas.
