The dining room provides a welcoming entrance to the home, with its painted timber framing, wooden flooring and dual aspect, while additional living space is provided in the sitting room, which has an impressive brick-built open fireplace, fitted with a log burner. The historical cellar has a window and is fully converted to now form a very useful study with the potential to be used as a guest 4th bedroom if required given the downstairs bathroom. The kitchen itself is fitted with sleek, contemporary units in white, wooden worktops and a stainless steel range cooker with an extractor hood.

Upstairs there are two well-presented double bedrooms and 1 single bedroom.

The garage being full sized, dry, boarded and with an extra level accessed by a ladder means you have plenty of space for storage with potential to further convert subject to planning permission. The garden lies beyond the garage, with a high red brick wall to one side and established hedgerows to the other, providing plenty of privacy. There is also a beautifully landscaped, south-facing courtyard accessed via the drawing room, providing an excellent space for entertaining.
