HIGH HOUSE

High House is in beautiful order throughout with doors leading to the gardens from the kitchen, sitting room and dining room. The main door, however, leads to a spacious hallway and the reception rooms can be accessed from here.

The hallway

The kitchen is large and has dining for six people, plus a comfy sofa making this a real living kitchen. It is fully equipped with gas range with electric oven, microwave, fridge, freezer, dishwasher and plenty of storage space. There is a washing machine and tumble drier in a separate utility room.

The sitting room is spacious with TV, DVD player, woodburning stove & CD player.

For formal dining, there is a table to seat six in stylish surroundings. The room is cool in summer and warm in winter with a wood burning stove.

There is also a toilet downstairs.

The stone stairways are over three hundred years old and worn down by many generations - they lead to the first floor which has two double bedrooms and two bathrooms (one of which is ensuite with bath and shower, the other is for guests using the second bedroom and has a shower).

At the top of the house is the attic suite with retreat room to take advantage of the stunning views, top double bedroom also with views and shower-room with WC (please take note of low ceilings and low beams).

Throughout the house, fine attention has been made to detail, creating a house that is beautiful throughout.

The decking area by the kitchen

Outside the garden covers all sides of the house with a paddock area to the South, decking area (with garden furniture) by the kitchen and lots of nooks and crannies elsewhere. There is also a gin & tonic deck (please note that there is steep drop from here making it unsuitable for small children).

Woodland leading to the river

There are several acres of woodland that you are welcome to explore. Please note, however, that these woodlands are private and as such do not have set paths. The woods lead down to the river which can be lovely to swim in.

• The house is heated with oil central heating which is included in the price.
• The beds are made up for you, please note that you need to bring your own towels.
• I'm afraid we cannot accept pets at High House.
• The house is no smoking throughout.
• We advise guests to take out holiday insurance.
