A second reception room, also featuring exposed beams and a decorative chimney breast recess, offers flexible use as a sitting room, study, or formal dining area.

The spacious dining kitchen provides ample room for family meals and entertaining, and with modernisation, could become the heart of the home.

To the first floor, there are three well-proportioned double bedrooms. The spacious family bathroom is equipped with a classic roll-top bath, WC, hand wash basin, and a walk-in shower.

A useful loft space provides additional storage and features built-in cupboards to the eaves, making excellent use of every inch of the home.
