The dining room and the lounge both have an attractive wooden floor throughout with charming window seat in each room. Character continues throughout the cottage with the lounge centring on a stone built fire place with a multi fuel burner being the focal point.
The ground floor also benefits from the additions of a sun room and boot room – both of which have doors leading out into the garden.

All of the bedrooms are served by the recently refitted shower room with a walk in shower, wc, basin and most useful airing cupboard.
