Step through the stable door and into this charming cottage into an open plan lounge/kitchen/dining area which is cosy and inviting. Relax on the comfy sofa and enjoy catching up on your favourite programmes on the Smart TV, or just curl up with a good book. The well-equipped kitchen has everything you may need for whipping up a romantic meal for two and the breakfast bar with stools is a perfect spot for enjoying relaxed dining. Heading upstairs you will find a welcoming king-size bedroom to retreat to after a busy day and completing the property is a shower room with WC.

A stable door from the kitchen area ensures you have the feeling of bringing the outside in all day long and provides access to a small private courtyard adjoining the owners garden which acts a real suntrap. A table and chairs make for the perfect spot to enjoy outside dining or to relax and soak up the sunshine with a glass of something cold and refreshing.
