Accommodation:

The front door opens into the cosy living room, with a sofa and armchairs, TV and DVD player. The exposed beams give the room a real country cottage feel. The far end of the living room leads into the sunroom, a lovely light-filled room with French doors into the patio garden. The sunroom and patio overlook Mill Creek and are wonderful quiet spots to read or watch the birdlife on the river. At the back of the sunroom, there's a utility room where you will find the tumble drier and freezer.

The well-equipped kitchen-diner gives the classic country cottage theme continues throughout with tiled floor and exposed beams. The kitchen window offers views over the creek and is complete with an induction hob, oven, fridge, microwave, washing machine and dishwasher. The dining table seats four comfortably.

Glass-sided stairs lead up from the living room to the two bedrooms and two bathrooms. On the first floor is the first of the two bedrooms, a beautiful room with exposed beams overlooking the water. Furnished with a superking-size bed (which can be configured as two singles upon request at the time of booking). The family bathroom has a bath and an overhead shower also with views of the creek.

Upstairs again and there's the en-suite master bedroom with king-size bed and dual aspect views over the water. The house has central heating as well as underfloor heating on the ground floor.
