On the first floor, there are two bedrooms including the main bedroom which is dual-aspect overlooking the valley complete with fitted wardrobes. The bathroom has been refitted with a stylish roll-top bath and a rainfall shower over. The versatile top floor offers a third bedroom accompanied by an en-suite shower room. The top floor could equally be utilised as a hobby room/home office.
The south-facing garden is an enchanting landscaped area of three terraces all benefitting from the lovely view. The top terrace located immediately off the cottage is laid as a sun terrace and provides a lovely alfresco dining area to enjoy. Steps lead down to a curved lawned terrace and continue down to the bottom terrace which has been utilised as a wildlife garden complete with a pond and timber shed.
