The kitchen also has an LPG cooker, fridge freezer and dish washer. Above the kitchen area is a mezzanine sleeping area for guests.
A door leads back from the main living area to the utility area housing the LPG boiler and washing machine. from here a door leads to the bathroom, with free standing bath, separate shower, toilet and hand basin.
Forward from the main living area is a separate hand basin and WC, and the main bedroom, a good sized double again with plenty of storage.
