The front door leads into the cosy lounge with a log burning stove, two sofas, an armchair, Smart TV, DVD player, sound bar and ample hanging and storage for outside gear. Off the lounge is a doorway and small hall leading to the kitchen and a wide stairway taking you upstairs. The kitchen is full of character with its low-original oak beams and is well equipped for those guests who prefer to self-cater. The focal point is the island which can comfortably sit four people, ideal for breakfast or a casual lunch. A small utility off the kitchen is home to a second fridge/freezer, dishwasher, washing machine and separate dryer. For a more formal dining experience there is a dining room with seating for six; somewhere to dine or somewhere to play board games or cards with family and friends. The dining room also has a wood-burning stove. A small hallway accommodates a selection of books and maps: something for everyone from children’s picture story books to walks in the local area. The central staircase leads to a half landing with a lovely large window and charming window seat; a further deep step up leads to the family bathroom which is home to a roll top bath with a shower 'over' - the bath is deeper than the average so be careful when climbing in. There is a single bedroom to the right of the bathroom. A second shorter staircase leads to the two further bedrooms: the ‘Blue’ bedroom with it’s king-size bed and the larger ‘Grey’ bedroom with a super-king size bed and en-suite shower room, with space to relax in the armchair by the light and airy window.
At the back of the cottage there is a small courtyard with a wooden bench and during the spring and summer months you’ll find a table and four chairs. There are some stone steps which lead from the back yard up to the back street so please supervise young children and pets when using the outdoor space.
