Leading from the kitchen there is a downstairs bathroom W.C with hand basin and shower over the bath. Another door from the breakfast room opens into a comfortable snug with cedar panelled walls and a wood burning stove with two armchairs.  An inner hall gives access to a pleasant sitting room, which looks out onto the enclosed garden, with two sofas arranged before a wall mounted electric fire. To complete the ground floor accommodation, a conservatory spans the width of the property with a terracotta tile floor, dining table and chairs and door to the garden.

A steep carpeted staircase leads to a landing dividing at the top with a double bedroom on the right and two steps to the left giving access to a cloakroom W.C with hand basin and a twin bedded room. The cottage garden is overlooked from all three upstairs rooms.

There is a pretty rear garden with a small patio area and  a single step allows access to the small lawn with raised flower bed and a path and gate leading to the private drive. The garden is enclosed by a Cornish hedge and stone wall.
