On the ground floor is extensive dining and entertaining space with windows that frame the views. There are traditional features, including exposed beams and fireplaces, together with more modern and naturally well lit rooms. The design of the ground floor allows for "future proof" living with the provision of the principal bedroom and en suite bathroom.

Within the original cottage is the kitchen/breakfast room with quarry tiles, AGA and a range of wall and base units. There is space for a table and the kitchen leads seamlessly through to the spacious dining room with exposed beams and period brick fireplace.

There is a wide bow window and feature oriel style window offering views over the paddock and open countryside beyond. There are double doors into the drawing room and also from the drawing room to the garden room with double glazed sliding patio door leading out to the garden beyond.
