As you walk through to the dining and living room, admire the contemporary style interiors decorated in gentle warm hues and contemporary wall art, harmonising with the cottage s period ambience with original windows, and an wood burner set into a beautiful stone surround. Dine around the table, then sink into the sofas and enjoy family film nights together around the Smart TV with Freeview and DVD player.
