attractive pale brick under a slate roof, the property offers
spacious living, further extended into the loft, creating well

entrance vestibule into hallway. At the front elevation is the bay
fronted sitting room with attractive period features such as
cornicing and picture rails, the bay itself has replacement sash
windows and half height plantation shutters.

oven with grill, gas hob with extractor over, integrated
dishwasher, sink and undercounter space for fridge and freezer.

further appliances, housing a combination boiler and with a door

Stairs from the entrance hallway lead to a first floor landing
off which are two double bedrooms, each with generous built in
wardrobes along with original cast iron Victorian fireplaces. They
share the landing with a large house bathroom with Victorian style
freestanding roll top bath and separate fully tiled shower with
