The principal bedroom and bedroom two have bespoke fitted wardrobes and en suite shower rooms. Bedrooms three and four have fitted wardrobes and share a Jack and Jill bathroom with a freestanding roll top bath and double shower cubicle. A gated entrance leads to a long gravel drive which provides extensive parking and access to a detached garage which measures 18 ft. 9 x 12 ft. 10. and has electric doors. A major feature of the cottage is the wrap around gardens and a detached custom built oak framed covered outdoor entertaining area.
