The cottage kitchen is dual aspect, and its courtyard window can open fully onto the external wall, creating a wonderful opening, making it easy to pass food and drinks out to take to the terrace. A stunning oak staircase rises from the lounge and leads to the spacious first floor landing, which has an open, airy feeling due to the vaulted ceilings and sash windows. Throughout the cottage, the beautiful locally handmade sash windows allow sunlight to beam in, providing a lifting glow.
