A lobby off the kitchen with open pantry area leads to the family bathroom fitted with a bath with rainfall shower over and feature tiling.

A wooden turning staircase leads to the first floor landing with a large wardrobe/storage cupboard. Here there are two double bedrooms, both with double aspect, high ceilings and original exposed timber beam detailing.

The garden wraps around the cottage, with shingled paths leading around. A timber gate opens to the front cottage garden, leading to the front porch. The cottage garden at the front is planted with rosemary, lavender and bluebells, with a mature flowering wisteria vine along the front of the house. Another timber gate leads to the rest of the garden, predominantly at the side, with an elevated grassed area, planted beds, wildlife pond with pump, and a flowering laburnum tree.
