The sitting room has an attractive exposed stone focal fireplace with a Charnwood wood burner inset on a stone hearth. There is also a window seat at the front of the room making another lovely feature, along with whitewashed, exposed beams. The stairs to the first-floor rise from the dining area, along with a useful understairs storage cupboard. Beyond the dining area is the recently updated kitchen, which is fitted with a range of wall and base units under solid wooden worktops. There is an integrated oven, hob and extractor hood, as well as a space and plumbing for a washing machine and space for a fridge freezer. The kitchen has a large window overlooking the garden which allows plenty of natural light to fill the room. At the far end of the ground floor is a rear lobby with a door to the garden and two cupboards, one of which houses the central heating boiler. Beside this is the shower room which has a white suite comprising a walk-in shower, wash hand basin set within a vanity unit, low-level WC and a heated towel radiator.

On the first floor there are two bedrooms, a double and a single. The double is at the front of the property and has a feature fireplace which makes a lovely focal point to the room.

Beside this, and running along the side of the cottage, is a gravelled driveway that will comfortably park two vehicles.
