In the separate snug there is a gas-fired 'wood-burner' for those cosy evenings in. The kitchen is well-equipped with electric oven, gas hob, combi microwave/oven/grill, fridge and dishwasher. In the utility room is a washing machine and tumble dryer, and there is a ground floor toilet with hand basin. 

The first set of (normal) stairs leads up to bedroom 1 which has a king-size bed, and a family bathroom comprising claw-foot bath with hand-held shower attachment, toilet and hand basin. The second set of (spiral) stairs on the other side of the cottage leads up to the other two bedrooms, one has a double bed and the other bunk beds.
