A warm welcome
Make your way through into the sitting room, alongside the kitchen, part of a more recent extension to Spring Bank Farm. Set on a stone plinth before an exposed brick feature wall, the freestanding log-burning stove connects to the boiler system for the efficient, oil-fired central heating.
