Whether you’re travelling with family, catching up with friends or visiting for work, this three-bedroom home offers space to spend time together and enjoy quieter moments of your own. Separate living and dining rooms make shared stays comfortable, while thoughtful everyday touches help you settle in for a few nights or longer. The house is arranged across split levels, with stairs leading to the bedrooms.

- Living Room: On the ground floor, the bay-fronted living room is a welcoming spot to unwind. A beautiful period fireplace forms a decorative centrepiece, complemented by sage-green walls and warm wooden floors. A deep-blue sofa and cosy armchair invite you to settle in with a morning coffee, curl up with a book or enjoy an evening in front of the television.
- Kitchen: The ground-floor kitchen pairs crisp white cabinetry and pale worktops with rich teal walls. A breakfast table beside the window invites slow mornings over coffee or a glass of wine while dinner cooks. Enjoy preparing meals together, then open the door to the garden to take breakfast or lunch outside.
- Dining room: Gather for meals in the separate dining room on the ground floor, where a wooden table, bench seating and upholstered chairs create a relaxed setting. Colourful artwork, wooden floors and a decorative fireplace make this an inviting place for everything from family breakfasts to leisurely dinners.
- Bedroom 1: Reached by the first flight of stairs, this single bedroom sits on the main first-floor level. Sage-and-white walls, a chest of drawers and an armchair give it a cosy, personal feel. It’s a lovely room for a child or an adult, with space to unpack and enjoy a little downtime.
- Bedroom 2: A further short flight of stairs leads to the king bedroom on the upper first-floor level. The comfy bed, soft colours and understated styling create a restful retreat after a day exploring. A desk and chair beside the window provide a dedicated workspace, with fast Wi-Fi for those combining their stay with work.
- Bedroom 3: Sharing the upper first-floor level with Bedroom 2, this welcoming room is also reached by the additional stairs. A double bed and softly coloured interiors offer a comfortable space for another couple or a guest who prefers their own room.
- Bathroom: Pale tiling and contrasting dark fittings give the bathroom a fresh, contemporary feel. A bathtub with an overhead shower and glass screen offers the choice of a refreshing start to the morning or an evening soak, with a washbasin, toilet and heated towel rail completing the space.
- Powder room: Conveniently positioned beside the kitchen on the ground floor, an additional toilet and washbasin make shared stays a little easier, particularly when everyone is getting ready to head out.
- Garden: Step straight from the kitchen into a leafy terraced garden with several inviting places to sit. Enjoy breakfast at the outdoor table, linger over conversation on the cushioned seating or find a quiet corner for an afternoon read. Steps connect the garden’s different levels, so young children should be supervised.
- Driveway: Free off-street parking makes arrival easy, with your car close by for unloading bags, picking up shopping and heading out on day trips.

The house is professionally cleaned and carefully prepared before each stay, with fresh bed linen and towels ready for your arrival, so you can settle in and feel at home.

You will have full access to the house, so please treat it with the same care and respect as you would your own.
