Sofas surround an open fire, an inviting prospect on those chillier evenings. Watch a film on the Smart TV making use of Netflix or create your own music with the piano! Upstairs, you will find two inviting bedrooms, one double with a TV, and one twin. Alongside these is the main bathroom, with a shower over the bath. Outside is a pleasant courtyard area with a BBQ for those who fancy dining alfresco.
