There’s plenty of space here for a dining table, making it a sociable layout that works just as well for everyday meals as it does for entertaining guests. To the rear, a window and stable-style door provide lovely views out to the garden and invite fresh air and greenery into the room. Overhead, a characterful exposed beam adds a rustic touch, tying the space together with warmth and charm.

Bedroom one is a bright and inviting double room positioned to the rear of the property, offering a quiet and private outlook. A window to the back brings in plenty of natural light while framing a pleasant view over the garden, making the room feel calm and connected to the outdoors. There's ample space for a double bed along with essential bedroom furniture, with the layout lending itself well to wardrobes, drawers, and a bedside table. Soft carpet underfoot adds warmth and comfort, while the gentle curve of the ceiling and neutral décor create a soothing, restful atmosphere.

Bedroom two is a bright and spacious room, beautifully presented and thoughtfully laid out with practicality in mind.

Soft carpeting underfoot adds a layer of comfort, while the clean, neutral décor makes it easy to personalise.
