The Old House
The Old House has an eccentric layout and no two rooms seem to be on the same level. The living room has a three-seater sofa and easy chairs and features an inglenook with a small but ornamental woodburner.
The cosiness of this room is completed by table lamps, in place of overheads, and a total absence of television. It does have a CD player, however, and a selection of games. A lovely chestnut staircase leads from the living room to the double bedroom with its polished floorboards and wonderful views across the fields. The good-sized shower room - with walk-in shower - is also on this floor. Steps down from the living room lead through a low granite Napoleonic arch to the kitchen/dining room. The well-equipped built-in kitchen has acres of cupboard space, a double bowl sink, ‘fridge, gas hob with hood above, built-in mini-oven and microwave, coffee maker and, of course, a kettle! Lights fitted beneath the wall units illuminate the work surfaces.
The pine doors compliment the antique glass-fronted dresser and the huge pine surrounded fireplace. The farmhouse table will seat six with ease. From the kitchen, a door leads into the back lobby, which houses the freezer. Off the lobby are the downstairs W.C. and the utility room with washing machine. The back door opens into the small rear garden. Again from the kitchen, a second, steepish, staircase takes you up to the first floor with its plethora of timbers and sloping ceilings.
To the right you will find an extensive library and to the left is the twin, semi-mezzanine bedroom. This is ideal for a second couple or older child/children (14+). The furniture is an eclectic mix of antique and modern, giving it a homely, lived in feel. There are fewer doors than you might expect, but this adds to the sense of spaciousness. With the exception of the rear lobby, the cottage is double-glazed and centrally heated. So guests during the cooler time of the year will have a warm, cosy base to come back to. Having said that, The Old House is not normally available from the end of October until the following Easter. To the front is a sunny patio area with garden furniture and you are invited to make use of all our gardens.
