Both bedrooms have full height built-in cupboards with one located to the front of the cottage and the other overlooking the garden. The bathroom has black and white chequered flooring and half height panelling in sage green with wallpaper above and a traditional old-style radiator which is both a lovely feature as well as being really practical.
