Prepare your favourite meals in the fabulous kitchen which has an electric oven and hob, dishwasher and fridge with ice compartment. Guests have a choice of seating options from which to enjoy the nominated chef’s feast, including the main dining table in the lounge/diner, or even the comfortable outdoor seating on those warmer evenings. A small boot room and downstairs WC accompany the kitchen next door. Moving effortlessly through into the lounge/diner will bring you past the dining table and into a well-designed lounge space, combining a blend of original exposed beams and contemporary style, with comfortable seating options to sit back and relax in front of the Smart TV on those movie nights in. When the night draws in, head up the central staircase which leads to a choice of two bedrooms, both of which are wonderfully fitted and offer the added luxury of private bathroom spaces within the rooms themselves. One bedroom hosts a super-king-size bed, whilst the other has a super-king zip-and-link which can be separated into twin beds upon request.
