The ground floor showcases a wealth of character, from exposed brickwork to ceiling beams and timber finishes.

Externally, the property sits within a mature and well-tended walled garden. The stable door from the kitchen opens onto a tranquil patio space with adjoining lawned area, perfect for alfresco dining. A gravel path meanders through the well-established flower beds to a separate spacious side lawn lined with rose bushes. A separate parcel of adjacent grassland offers further outdoor space and a peaceful semi-rural outlook.
