The spacious yet cosy ground floor of the cottage comprises an open-plan living/dining area, flooded by natural light from the expanse of glass patio doors and picture windows at the rear of the space.

Partitioned away from this area you’ll find a compact kitchen, well-equipped with everything you need to cater. You’ll also find the family bathroom on this level as well as a handy utility cupboard under the stairs. Upstairs, the mezzanine level offers an additional relaxed living room featuring a leather sofa, rocking chair and panoramic views of the cottage and surrounding countryside across the wooden balustrade.
