The main room is open plan with high ceilings and big windows facing the view. The stairs up to the bedrooms are open-tread, so they're a bit see-through if you know what I mean. It's all on one level except for the bedrooms.

The kitchen is well-equipped, there's a utility room with a washing machine and tumble dryer, and there's parking. It has a whole ventilation system which is good for allergies. The electric car charger needs arranging with the owners first, there might be a fee.
