Morel Farmhouse

The layout is quirky, all on different levels and with two staircases just perfect for indoor hide and seek. The windows are original and many of the architectural features have been retained and restored (including the ‘salter’ trough where a slaughtered pig would keep fresh during the winter) but with modern central heating and clever lighting. Spread out over a drawing room, dining room or a snug. The kitchen is immaculate and tastefully designed.

Rooms have paint by Edward Bulmer and there are interesting artworks on the walls, so there’s a real country feel to the whole place, with a warming fire to gather around on chilly days playing cards or chess. Children will love the space to play and you can wander the walled garden or find a quiet spot to sit listening to birdsong. Visit the ancient pressoir for making apple juice and cider.

Bedrooms are very comfortable and tasteful with views through pretty windows and spotless bathrooms.
