Off the central zone the single bedroom is located on the south end of the cottage where it is shelter from the mountain road and by the high ground to the rear. To the north the main living space containing a small kitchen, dinning table and lounge, the gable wall and floor form a tiled hearth he entrance, a large picture window faces south east taking in the view to the hill of Knocknashee.
