The sitting room is dominated by the red brick fireplace and wood burner, a warm and inviting room, there are exposed timbers, and two sets of French doors leading into the conservatory, in turn making an ideal space for the summer with stable style door leading into the garden. Central to the cottage is the utility room and cloakroom, the utility room being the former kitchen. It features matching units as per the kitchen, space for appliances, Butler sink, and door to cloakroom.
