Double doors lead from the initial reception room into the heart of the original cottage, a cosy yet sizeable living room.

There is a door leading to the staircase rising to the first floor, then a large original doorway gives access to a passage at the front with steps leading to the kitchen and breakfast room. Currently separated by attractive wooden panelling, the kitchen and breakfast room could be easily combined to create a kitchen/diner which is more fashionable nowadays.
