Step into the open-plan living space, where the lounge, kitchen, and dining area combine to create a social spot for day-to-day hangouts. In the lounge, soft seating, a Smart TV, and an Alexa smart speaker offer the ultimate setting for slow mornings or restful nights. From here, move into the kitchen/diner, featuring a central kitchen island and a large, rustic-style dining table. This entire cottage is laid out on one floor, so the three bedrooms are all within easy reach of the open-plan living space. Two rooms offer king-size beds, and the third is a delightful twin. Two rooms share a refreshing family bathroom, while the master bedroom offers direct access to a clean, contemporary en-suite shower room.
