About this property
The Walnut | East Ruston Cottages
ALL ABOUT THE INSIDE:
Entry through the handsome front porch with plenty of room for boots and coats and into the..
Open plan kitchen diner
Karndean flooring throughout this very well fitted and stylish kitchen with a small electric Aga, combination microwave, dishwasher, Tassimo coffee machine, toaster, kettle, small fridge freezer etc. Well laid out with room for 2 people to cook together easily. Plenty of crockery and cooking equipment. All you need for self catering. Lovely wood table and chairs to seat 4. All living and bedroom areas have LVT non-slip flooring.
Lounge
All part of the open plan area, making the most of the space and light and access to the kitchen and dining area. There are two comfy sofas, plus a flat screen QLED Smart TV*, a choice of family games and wide bi-fold doors opening out onto the courtyard so you can let the dogs out safely. (see ‘All about the outside’ below)
*The Smart QLED TV comes with some apps already installed i.e. film and TV streaming services such as Netflix, BBC iPlayer, YouTube and social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter. You can also view content from your laptop, mobile or tablet on the TV screen.
Through a door by the kitchen into the hallway and at one end of this is…
Kingsize bedroom
Very comfortable new king size bed with wardrobe, chest of drawers, hair dryer and flat screen Smart TV. Views across the fields.
En-suite shower room
Modern spacious shower room, with toilet, sink, shaver point and storage.
Kingsize/twin bedroom
Comfortable new kingsize bed that can be split into twin beds for flexible sleeping arrangements. Clothes storage in two chest of drawers. Views across the fields to wake up to in the morning.
Bathroom
Modern tiled bathroom with over bath shower, sink and unit, shaver point and toilet.
ALL ABOUT THE OUTSIDE:
Courtyard
Enclosed with a 6ft wall to separate the area from the rest of the site and then 3.5ft fencing/wall all round to allow uninterrupted views across the fields. Tucked privately into the corner is the five-seater HOT TUB, very well maintained with the resident rubber duck bobbing about! The views from the hot tub are uninterrupted and across the fields where buzzards, hares, deer and owls can be seen and heard. Imagine watching the sunrise and moonlit nights all year round. There is enough seating for nine at the outside coffee table which converts into a dining table for al-fresco eating. There is a parasol in the courtyard and paddock.
Paddock
The paddock fencing is slightly higher than the courtyard, but not solid. There is no passing dog/people traffic. Guests have sole use of the paddock when staying at The Walnut.
Parking
There is dedicated parking for two large cars, possibly more by arrangement, in the gravelled, shared area outside the barn. Please park to the left hand side of the barn as you look at it then there should be plenty of room.
