A Home to Relax and Unwind
Step inside and the quality of the build is immediately apparent, from the floating oak staircase and glass balustrade to the heritage skylights pouring light across the double-height mezzanine. A velvet chaise and footstool sit beneath a Bauhaus print and warm Edison glow, with a wall-mounted Smart TV, sound system, books, and board games on hand. Underfloor heating, dimmable lighting, room-darkening blinds, and a whole-house ventilation system (MVHR) keep the cottage comfortable year-round.

Good to Know Before You Book
The bedroom and shower room sit on the mezzanine and are reached by a solid oak staircase with a glass balustrade, so the cottage may not suit guests with significant mobility needs. The cottage sits directly on a quiet residential street, and while the area is calm, you may hear occasional passing traffic or pedestrians. There is no allocated parking at the property; pay and display bays are available on nearby streets, subject to availability and local restrictions, so please check signage on arrival. Self check-in is via smart lock, with full instructions sent on the day of arrival. Maximum occupancy is 2 guests, and only registered guests may stay overnight. One well‑behaved dog allowed per booking (upon request). Additional £100 pet fee applies.
