Enter through the front door of this stylish cottage and you come into a hallway where you can leave your outdoor coats and shoes before heading upstairs to the rest of the cottage. You will find the two bedrooms first which lead off from the landing; one is a light and airy double bedroom with open storage for your things and a step down from the hallway takes you to the single bedroom, perfect for an additional child guest where the high ceiling adds to the impression of space and light.

The lounge has a comfortable sofa where you can unwind in front of the wood burner while watching your favourite movies on the Smart TV. From here, two steps take you up to the orangery style summer house with a garden table and chairs for inside dining, and a second breakfast bar with stools overlooking the garden, perfect for your morning coffees. The useful washing machine is housed inside a cupboard in this room and the door leads out and up four stone steps to the garden. Outside, enjoy the enclosed, west facing patio garden and raised lawned area for afternoon sunshine and evening sunsets. There is a chiminea for warmth all year round, a park style bench where you can sit with a book, and a bistro set for al fresco dining.
