There is access to the fully boarded loft space from the upper hall.

Externally, South View has much to offer, with a private driveway providing off-road parking and access to a garage, which benefits from doors to both the front and rear. A practical external utility cupboard provides further storage and functionality, conveniently positioned beneath a covered area accessed directly from the cottage.
