Global warming is an important issue, so we're trying to be as green as we can; we've recently installed 47kWh of solar capacity, and there is also underfloor heating throughout, powered by an eco friendly air source heat pump. The cottage is also double glazing.

Downstairs, you enter from your own private drive to the hallway, which has coat hanging and boot storage. There is a large open plan kitchen/dining and sitting room with south-facing windows and bi-fold doors opening onto a large patio area. There is a modern, newly fitted kitchen with an AGA range, American fridge freezer and built in oven and microwave. The cottage provides cooking essentials, such as oil, condiments, sugar etc. There is a Tassimo Bosch coffee machine, as well as all the cooking equipment we think you'll need. The dining area will seat 6, and the living area has plenty of comfortable seating and exposed ceiling beams. The cottage is fully stocked with books and DVD's.

On the ground floor are two double bedrooms with 2 wetrooms.
Upstairs the third bedroom has exposed beams, a super king-sized bed which is zip-lock and adaptable as either two single beds (on request), or as one huge bed. The en -suite is spacious, and there are beautiful views across to Little Longstone.
The beds are modern, pocket sprung and comfortable and the linen is all Egyptian cotton.

All three bathrooms are newly fitted, with lovely marble floor to ceiling tiles. There are heated towel rails in each, and plenty of hot-water is available on demand.

Outside, the garden extends to ¼ of an acre, and is laid to grass, with a beech hedge, and with a path to the front door. A large garden table will easily accommodate 6 people, and there are six very comfortable sun loungers to relax on.
