The attractive, anthracite composite secure door opens in to the Side Entrance Porch with ceramic tiled floor and space for shoes and coats. A step down and the original, half glazed door lead directly into the Sitting/Dining Room. A well proportioned room with deep set front window, shelved recess and under-stairs cupboard. Warming recessed wood burning stove with impressive, original stone mantel. Access to second Porch and external door. A step leads up to the Inner Hall with airing cupboard and loft hatch with pull down ladder to storage space. The Bathroom has a large deep set window and a white suite comprising bath with shower over, pedestal wash hand basin and WC. Attractive part tiled walls. The Kitchen is light and bright with a dual aspect and furnished with a range of painted cream wall and base cabinets with 1½ bowl sink unit. Electric oven and hob and space for washing machine and fridge freezer. Good use has been made of the space with a breakfast bar to seat 2/3 people.

From the Sitting Room the stairs lead to the First Floor with 2 Double Bedrooms. Bedroom 1 enjoys a delightful view over the village and down the valley with deep set window and recessed cupboard and stripped pine door. Bedroom 2 is a second double room and enjoys a further pleasing view with deep set window.

The detached Garden is a real treat - Not too big and not too small. A real cottage Garden with well established plants and shrubs including a very tasty and productive (i can confirm) pink apple tree and lawn. A gravelled Patio at the end provides the most wonderful, far reaching views over the valley with a glimpse of the weir and the occasional steam train chugging past - how very relaxing! There is also a timber Summer House to sit in on a hazy day with a good book!!.
