You will find everything you require to be creative! The cottage kitchen is dual aspect, and its courtyard window can open fully onto the external wall, creating a wonderful opening, making it easy to pass food and drinks out to take to the terrace.
A stunning oak staircase rises from the lounge and leads to the spacious first floor landing, which has an open, airy feeling due to the vaulted ceilings and sash windows.
