The property is approached up a lengthy gravel driveway to the entrance door and doors to the garage/store which form the only part of the cottage visible to the road (keeping any exposure to road noise to a minimum).

Lovely latch and brace doors further enhance the feel in this pretty room one of which leads through into the surprisingly spacious kitchen and dining room.

Leaving the bathroom and moving down the landing to the rear of the cottage the impressive master bedroom can be found.
