Property description
As the name might lead you to suspect, The Larder started life as Wern Manor’s game larder. Original features such as the maroon glazed and buff bricks and the stunning slate floors are offset by stylish Scandinavian-style furniture. There are lots of restful, muted shades with the odd pop of pattern or colour to give it a contemporary look, such the green splashback in the kitchen.
The apartment is all on one level with a light-filled lounge with a TV/DVD, a compact but bright kitchen equipped with an induction hob, combi microwave/grill, fridge and a dishwasher, and a double bedroom with a super-kingsize bed (which can be made up as two singles on request) and a spacious en-suite bathroom with a large, powerful shower.
