The space
This two-storey cottage has been carefully designed with contemporary décor, underfloor heating and original features throughout.
The property begins with an open-plan kitchen/diner, featuring restored wooden beams, exposed brick walls and delightful artwork.

Both bedrooms have been designed with calming colour tones and complementary patterns, making for the perfect place to relax and take in the views.
