These rooms offer a range of versatile accommodation as there is the possibility for them to be used as a dining room or an additional bedroom. At the rear of the property there is a wonderful kitchen/breakfast room with an impressive vaulted ceiling, modern fitted units and superb views out over the garden. This is the current owners’ favourite part of the cottage, ‘I love the kitchen as it’s very modern, I spend a lot of time in there and I like the views out over the garden.’ There is also a sunny garden room which is a great place to sit and relax and a useful workshop/utility room.
