Another hall leads to the welcoming lounge, where you can light a second wood burner and settle down together to watch TV or a DVD.

Another narrow, steep staircase leads up to your remaining two charming bedrooms in the eaves, one with an en-suite shower room. Due to the age of the property, there are changes in level and areas of restricted head height throughout. Enjoy your sunny, lawned garden, with its glorious views across National Trust land, and keep an eye on children and pets as the wall is low.
