On entering the property, doors lead to the ground-floor accommodation. To the left is a bright and generously sized reception room featuring a multi-fuel stove set on a stone hearth. Dual traditional sash-style windows allow natural light to flood the room while providing attractive views of the garden and the open countryside beyond. An understairs cupboard provides additional storage.

Adjacent to the reception room is the kitchen, benefitting from dual-aspect windows that frame the surrounding landscape. It is fitted with modern shaker-style wall and base units, wood-effect worktops, a stainless-steel sink with mixer tap, space for a freestanding cooker with an extractor fan above, and further room for additional appliances. Another useful understairs cupboard offers further storage.
