To the other, a separate dining room which is open to an adjoining kitchen at the rear of the property. Fitted with a range of matching floor and wall units, the kitchen offers space for a freestanding cooker and white goods, and has a window to the rear. A rear hall on the ground floor then gives external access to the back of the cottage and also leads to a WC.

In addition, there is a family bathroom, in need of updating, currently fitted with a bath, a pedestal wash hand basin, a shower cubicle and a low level WC.
