You’ll find more space to unwind as you head through to the light and appealing garden room with a TV, a high vaulted ceiling, a comfortable sofa and French doors looking out to the garden. The ground floor also has a utility room and a separate WC. A steep and winding cottage-style staircase leads up to the first floor where the galleried landing leads to three tastefully decorated and sympathetically updated bedrooms - there are two king size beds and one double bedroom.
