In addition, to the ground floor, there is a secondary hallway which would make an excellent home office with ground floor cloak room/utility off.

As well as the internal accommodation the property occupies a delightful established plot tucked away off Village Street, affording a substantial level of off road parking with a double garage and additional outbuildings. Gardens run to three sides, the main garden benefitting from a south to westerly aspect.
