It has been modernised and renovated to an extremely high standard by the current owners making a superb family home. There are a wealth of period features throughout including sash windows, light and spacious rooms, cornicing, attractive period fireplaces and exposed wooden flooring in some rooms.

Steps lead up to the front door and through into the spacious entrance hall. This links through to the rear hallway, were there is a cloakroom, boot room and access to the cellars. The drawing room and dining room are positioned at the front of the house and both rooms are incredibly light and well proportioned. The drawing room boasts exposed wooden floors, a woodburner with a slate surround and cornicing. The dining room also boasts a woodburner with a slate surround and enjoys a dual aspect.

The kitchen/breakfast room offers a range of upper and lower storage units, a Stanley Range Cooker, a further Baumatic oven and five gas hobs above, slate flooring and a rear aspect.
