This handsome, two-storey cottage was converted with the aim of maximising space, light and a convenient layout, and has excellent eco-credentials of locally sourced materials, super-insulation and triple glazing. There are timber floors throughout, as well as high-quality furnishings and a co-ordinated colour scheme. From the open-plan hallway there are steps up to the comfortable lounge, where seating is gathered around the TV and wood burner. The well-designed, spacious kitchen/diner, with a vaulted ceiling and exposed oak beams, is a lovely room in which to spend time, and has additional armchairs by the glazed doors for relaxation. The shower room is also on the ground floor. Open-tread stairs lead from the lounge to the fabulous open-plan bedroom, with a king-size bed, beamed, sloping ceiling, full-length window and en-suite bathroom.
