There is a separate boot room and WC on this floor and plenty of room for coats in the original hallway. The welcoming living room, also with views to the front garden, benefits from a large open fire.

To the first floor, the principal bedroom has an array of built in storage and an en suite bathroom. There are three further bedrooms, located off a large landing, served by a shower room. In addition to the house, is a first floor office, accessed via an external stairway, with a boiler room and utility area below.
