The living-dining room enjoys a beautiful fireplace with woodburner and exposed beams and connects pleasantly to the conservatory which overlooks the pretty cottage garden and has room for further furniture and a door out to the garden, blending the outdoors with inside.

Stairs ascend to the first floor landing, where there are two double bedrooms, the back bedroom of which enjoys the countryside views previously described. The family bathroom has a suite all in white, with the bath having a shower over.
