Millers Cottage dates back about 150 years and was formerly the house associated with the Mill of Syde. The cottage is arranged over two levels and there is a feeling of bringing the outdoors in with three external access doors into the garden. In keeping with its history, there are beamed ceilings and traditional style doors. A theme throughout is sanded and sealed floorboards which enhances the character.

An entrance porch leads into the kitchen. This room is fitted with pine, base and wall cabinets and has a window overlooking the driveway, woods and the hills beyond. Appliances include a Bosch washing machine and refrigerator along with a Creda electric oven and hob. A high level storage cupboard is built in. A step leads into the delightful sitting room which has a fireplace housing a glass fronted multifuel stove. At one side is a fixed seating area and table for casual dining. Along with two windows, there is an external door providing garden access. A timber staircase leads to the first floor landing. Here there is a study area and exterior door to the garden. There is also an airing cupboard and storage cupboard. The principal bedroom has wonderful views over to a waterfall. The en suite shower room has a Mira mains shower and has dual access to the landing. Bedroom two also has an en suite, again with a Mira electric shower.

A fixed metal framed stairway leads to an attic room with skylight which has been used as a children's bedroom.
