Cottage doors open onto the dining room and the kitchen. The dining room also features a stone mullion window to the front, exposed beams, woodburning stove set into the stone fireplace, and a door into the large kitchen/breakfast room which stretches across the back of the property. This bright and airy room features quarry tiled floors, an electric Everard range, belfast sink and painted wooden shaker style units. Windows look out onto the garden, and skylights flood the room with natural light. A door leads into the useful and spacious utility room which houses the oil boiler.
At the other end of the kitchen, a timber framed conservatory with a quarry tiled floor opens into the pretty courtyard garden, and also into the newly converted studio/office which has double glazed French doors leading out to the private parking area.

To the side is a paved private parking space with a door into a storage area, French doors into the studio room, and a gate into the rear courtyard. The stone walled south facing courtyard wraps around two sides of the cottage and is mostly paved with cottage style flowerbeds and mature shrubs and trees creating an attractive and private space to enjoy the sunshine.
