As you descend the few steps into the front garden and approach the front door, you will get a sense that the owners of this house pay excellent attention to detail and this continues inside the property. With pastel colours and neutral tones throughout, this semi-detached cottage is light and airy, yet homely. Traditional furniture and contemporary fixtures sit alongside one another to ensure this property is in touch with its heritage but still suitable for modern guests looking for comfort and style.

It is the perfect place to relax of an evening. To the rear of the house is a delightful, well-equipped kitchen-diner with plenty of natural light pouring in, making it a great place to cook up some treats, enjoy a morning coffee or devour an evening meal.
