The luxurious sheets and bedding are from the The White Company. There is also a wall mounted smart TV.
The second bedroom has an impressive mahogany Louis XVI double bed and side units with another William Morris wall paper to set it off. A period corner unit supports a smart TV. There is also a beautiful mid 19th century gilt mirror and light fittings. The room is very light benefiting from a large sash window and also has the beautiful White Company bedding.
The stylish bathroom with full height ceiling has a definite maritime feel with its feature porthole stain-glass windows complimented by a traditional roll top bath and shower. Lovely soft towels and toiletries from The White Company make for a truly relaxing experience.
The shaker style kitchen with traditional Belfast sink is compact but well equipped with an integrated fridge/freezer, dish washer, induction hob & oven, Nespresso coffee machine and toaster. There is also a built-in washer dryer. The elegant Victorian style open plan conservatory floods the kitchen with light and provides a connected cosy dining space.
A traditional wood burner provides the focal point of the beautiful living room with its elegant Edwardian mahogany fire surround, comfortable arm chairs and smart TV.
The garden is a peaceful space secluded and a real sun trap surrounded by a raised bed full of beautiful shrubs and flowers. The central feature is a timber Breeze House which can comfortably sit six to eat and has its own overhead heater and light. The WiFi also extends to here as well. A very elegant extension to the house’s entertainment area.

Father-in-law and brother-in-law stayed when visiting from New York - they found the property offered everything they needed and was beautifully kept. The welcome gifts were also very much appreciated.
They house was amazing as well as the location. The pubs/food near by were delicious and the main street shopping was lovely. Will be back again for sure!
