Other things to note
- The layout is a traditional terrace with bathroom on the ground floor at the back of the house, accessible via the kitchen.
- With the very user-friendly Hive thermostat located at the bottom of the stairs, you can control the heating by simply turning to adjust to your desired temperature.
- Please note that the stairs that lead to the first floor can be a bit steep for the elderly or very young. (We have provided a removable stairgate should you be concerned about the movements of small children.)
• There are DVDs, books as well as some toys and games. (Please ensure all games pieces are returned to their boxes.)
• We welcome children at the property and provide a highchair, travel cot, bath safety mat, and child-friendly plates and cutlery. There are also pens, pencils and colouring books.
• The fireplace is for decoration only and not to be used.
• The main antique dresser in the master bedroom is a unique piece of furniture that we have rescued and retained following its survival from a fire many years ago. You will notice the blown glass mirror, which adds to its character and charm.
• The property strictly accommodates up to 4 adults and two children only. This is due to the size of the property and suitable beds available; other than the provision of a travel cot for a baby, we cannot cater or allow for additional guests.
• There is a strict NO SMOKING (or vaping) policy at the house. Smokers must smoke outside the property and dispose of cigarette butts safely that do not impose on future guests or the public.
