The main bedroom

Simple luxury

The main bedroom has two beds that can be made up as a super-king double. The second bedroom can be used twin-bedded, or if preferred laid out with one bed and a desk so that it can be used as a retreat for working or writing. There is a well-equipped bathroom (bath, shower and w.c.) and a utility room that contains a second toilet. Lighting, curtains, blinds, beds and attractive flooring were all acquired just a few years ago, as is much of the equipment. For winter there is a wood-burning stove in the living room and ample heaters in the bathroom. Constant hot water is provided by electricity.

There is a large garage, one side of which has been separated and converted into a furnished and carpeted room in which extra visitors or children could sleep out. There are power points in case heating is needed. In addition to the garage there is ample off-road parking space. The garden has been landscaped and includes a SE facing patio which gets the late afternoon summer sun. The owners are happy to have the garden professionally looked after and simply invite visitors to water plants in pots or planters in times of drought.
