Parallel to the kitchen is the living room which offers a cosy and ambient space for relaxing boasting a beautiful open fire set in a green stone surround and fireplace.

The faint sound of trickling water from Kilncleuch burn can be enjoyed when enjoying the garden as the burn runs off the hill behind, through the garden and under the house. Sleepers from the former Borders Railway Line which historically run through Langholm were put in the burn to reduce the flow of water.
