Upon entry, the ground floor has a front reception room which retains many period features such as high ceilings with cornicing, original exposed wooden floorboards, a feature fireplace and a square bay with sash windows, furnished with plantation shutters.
The original timber flooring runs seamlessly through the entrance hall and into the dining room at the rear.

The dining area has a patio door at the back that offers direct access to the garden.
The kitchen is located off the dining area and has been fitted with plenty of white wall and base mounted units on either side of the room, with a white metro tiled splash back and a solid wood worktop. On one side of the room there is a 4-ring gas range cooker with an extractor above, on the opposite side of the room is a butler sink with mixer tap that sits neatly under the window looking out to the garden. Underfoot are black slate floor tiles.
The charming garden has been beautifully landscaped to create a nice low maintenance space. There is a grey tiled pathway surrounded by slate shingle closest to the house. The pathway leads to a decked area at the back which is perfect for al fresco dining. The whole garden is bordered by horizontal slatted fencing and raised planters that are full of mature plants and shrubs.
