The well-appointed lounge is a good sized and allows ample space for all key items of furniture. The wood flooring, period style doors and an open fire provide an attractive and authentic character feel to the room.

Within the kitchen there is space for a range cooker with extractor over, together with space for all the usual appliances and a Belfast sink.
