It is cosy and warm with underfloor heating throughout, traditional flagstone flooring on the ground floor and solid wood floors upstairs in the bedrooms. A steel mesh staircase and landing add a contemporary twist to the traditional finishes, while wood fibre insulations, lime plaster and vegan paint allow the solid stone walls to breathe, as buildings of this age were designed to do.
