Beneficiary of dec'd estate and access to house

I wonder if anyone can help. My father died leaving a will naming myself and my children as joint beneficiaries. The executors are my cousin and my late father's girlfriend. Probate was granted 2 months ago. The house now needs selling. I've been denied access to the house. I was told by the Citizens advice bureau that I should have full access since probate and should take all the keys. I've politely asked again for the keys and am not being given them. Can anyone give me any advice please as to where I legally stand in all this?

It is the executor responsibility to deal with estate up until it is distributed which would include selling the house unless you inherited the house rather than the value.0
