Utility Room:
Originally this room served as the cottage's kitchen but is now the Utility Room/ Scullery, with plenty of storage units, oak worktops and a slate floor. This is an extremely useful area with a second large fridge-freezer and oven, as well as home for the iron and ironing board, clothes airer and cleaning equipment.

Kitchen-Dining Area:
Pilgrim Cottage's large, beamed, farmhouse kitchen is full of light from the dual-aspect windows to the front and rear gardens - one with a window seat. It's a great eating and entertaining area with a large country-kitchen table, seating 8, as its focal point. The kitchen has a range cooker with electric ovens and 8 gas burners. The cream-coloured, shaker-style kitchen units and wooden worktops compliment the original, 1840's flagstone flooring. Well-equipped with everything you should need during your stay, in here you'll find an integrated fridge-freezer, dishwasher, microwave, and toaster; along with plenty of crockery, serving ware and a retro radio!

Hallway:
The Hallway is the centre point of the cottage. Off the hallway is a W.C.; the side door leading out to the stunning rear garden; a door ahead leading to the Living Room - the oldest part of the cottage dating back to 1640.

Downstairs Cloakroom:
Tucked away at the end of the hallway is the downstairs W.C., complete with hand basin and toilet.

Living Room:
Head through a traditional latched door into Pilgrim Cottage's main living room. The first thing you'll notice is the remarkable original oak beams of the Cruck-frame barn - dating back to 1640. This large, beamed room with lots of natural light is perfect for relaxing. There are two large sofas and several comfy chairs arranged around the Cotswold stone fireplace with its large log burner. The Living Room has a smart TV and lots of family board games, plus a poker set. French doors open out onto the beautiful walled garden, and a further two more windows overlooking the garden make the room light and airy. Head back to the hallway and up a short flight of stairs to the first-floor landing.
