With a double aspect the room overlooks our lovely front garden and, on the other side, our very pretty village of North Moreton - in winter when the leaves are gone, you can see our 11th Century Church closeby (there is a story that once a tunnel led from Stapleton's Chantry to the 12th Century Chantry Chapel in the Church - from where we get the Chantry part of our name) With a six foot Staples double bed, comfortable armchairs, a table, plus all the facilities you would expect and hope to find - tea and coffee making, hairdryer, WiFi Broadband Internet, thick towels, bathrobe, TV with digital TV channels, radio alarm clock, you will be extremely comfortable as well as quiet and peaceful up here at the top of the house. The Blue Room The Blue Room is situated close to the Green Room, and together they provide ideal accommodation for friends or family staying together. There is room for an additional child's single bed or travel cot if needed. The shared bathroom (bath and shower) and separate loo are along the landing, and offer privacy to all guests using these two lovely rooms. The Blue Room has a double aspect, with one window overlooking the front of the house and towards the oldest part of the house, while the second window overlooks our large and very pretty garden. The room also has an original cast iron fireplace and built in stripped pine corner cupboard, giving it a special charm and making it the first choice for many of our regular guests. With a five foot wide Vi Spring double bed and two armchairs, plus stripped pine wardrobe, extra large desk for working, this room works exceptionally well for either a working week stay or for more relaxed visits. It is a very light and airy room, spacious and beautifully decorated in traditional lime paint, ragged by hand in keeping with the 18th Century age of this part of our lovely house.
