The first floor features an open-plan lounge/diner with a fitted kitchen area, creating a sociable living space full of charm and cottage character. From the front window there are magnificent views down the river Esk to the swing bridge and beyond.

The second floor has been utilised by its current owners as a large double bedroom, with original feature beams and again lovely views out to the harbour and beyond.
