The Cottage | Cheese Room Cottage

A home away

from home

The wide front door opens directly into the spacious hallway with living room, wet room and main bedroom off plus staircase to the single first-floor bedroom. The living room with kitchen area and hallway have oak flooring, the main bedroom has non-slip carpet tiles and the stairs and single bedroom are carpeted. There is electric underfloor heating throughout the downstairs area and a radiator in the single bedroom. All exterior doors and windows are double-glazed.

The living room has the original oak-beamed ceiling from the farm cheese store with modern conduit spot lighting. A wood-burning stove sits in the original brick fireplace and logs are provided for those cosy evening fires. Seating is provided by a two-seater sofa and a comfortable leather electric riser/recliner chair. The TV and DVD player are wall-mounted as are the oak wall shelves containing books, games and puzzles; wi-fi connection provided. French doors open out onto the patio with garden table and chairs and barbecue. The L-shaped kitchen area contains a built-in fridge with freezer box, single-drainer sink, electric touch-control ceramic hob and a combination fan oven/grill/microwave. There is wheelchair access underneath the sink and hob and easy-access cupboards. Tucked into the corner opposite the kitchen area is a square oak dining table which is extendable and three chairs.

The wet room, with its non-slip Altro Aquarius flooring, has a thermostatically-controlled shower with both a wall-mounted circular head and a hand shower attachment. The wall-mounted shower seat can be folded away if not required. The wash basin is at a height suitable for wheelchair users and the toilet is comfort-height with folding support rails on either side. A perching stool and wheel-in shower chair are available on request. A heated towel rail on the wall provides additional heating and a door in the corner of the wet room gives access to a fitted washing machine/tumble drier. Bath and hand towels are provided.

The large main double bedroom contains two electric profiling single beds (each 3ft wide by 3ft 6 inches long) which can be left as singles or clipped together to make a superking bed (please advise when booking how you would like the beds arranged). There is a built-in large three-drawer chest with mirror above and a built-in hanging wardrobe, in addition to two bedside cabinets and a wall-mounted TV. A hairdryer will be found in one of the bedside drawers. The height of the bed(s) from floor to top of mattress is 61cm (24 inches) and there is a gap underneath of 15cm (6 inches) to enable a hoist to fit comfortably underneath if required (hoists can be hired locally - see ‘Accessibility’ page for details). We also have an Easyrail bed rail (available on request) which can be placed on one side of the bed to assist with movement - please note that this cannot be used in conjunction with the electric head and foot raising of the bed.

The carpeted stairs from the hallway lead to a single bedroom in the eaves of the roof, with comfortable bed and bedside cabinet. There is a vanity unit with washbasin, storage cupboards and drawers along one wall plus clothes hanging rail, radiator, bedroom chair, TV/DVD and velux-style window.
