The lounge or snug, situated off the lobby, boasts an inglenook fireplace complete with a large log burner & original period features. This bright and airy room with exposed stone walls still retains its cosy feeling and naturally flows into the dining room or parlour. This room also features an inglenook fireplace, which has had a biomass (wood pellet) boiler installed providing eco-friendly hot water and heating to the entire home. With space for a dining table which can comfortably accommodate 10 guests, this space is defiantly the heart of this home.

A rear porch (originally the front of the cottage) opens out onto a natural stone patio & landscaped terraced garden with ornate seating around a small pond.
