There are two generous double bedrooms within the property, each located on opposite sides of the cottage. The first bedroom is situated off the living room and is complete with shelving to the front elevated wall. The second bedroom is larger, with plenty of room for freestanding bedroom furniture. The family bathroom is located in the centre of the cottage and comprises a large, deep bath in the corner with shower proof boarding, WC and pedestal sink with overhead mirror. There is a loft hatch in the hallway with ladders which give access to the fully boarded roof space which was used in the past as an office. It would also make for excellent storage or may serve as a third bedroom in the future subject to necessary planning consents.
