The Old Bull is a delightful three-bedroom character home offering attractive accommodation across two light-filled floors. Original features include exposed timber beams and impressive brick fireplaces, complemented by neutral décor.
There are three main reception rooms on the ground level, two of which are divided by vertical timbers to create a larger, semi open-plan living and entertaining space. These are the comfortable drawing room, which provides a welcoming entrance to the home and features a grand brick-built fireplace, which is fitted with a woodburning stove. The vertical timber beams separate the drawing room from the dining room, where there is tiled flooring and space for a family dining table. Further space in which to relax as a family comes in the form of the sitting room, which adjoins the drawing room and features a smaller brick-built open fireplace and a dual aspect, including French doors opening to the garden. Double doors lead from the dining area to the kitchen, which has fitted units to base and wall level, as well as a range cooker with an extractor hood, with the adjoining utility room providing further space for appliances and home storage.
The ground floor has one double bedroom and an adjoining study, which is ideal for home working, or could be combined with the neighbouring cloakroom and converted into an en suite shower room. Upstairs there are two further double bedrooms, both of which are en suite, including the principal bedroom with its large built-in wardrobe. The second first-floor bedroom also has built-in storage, with both rooms featuring en suite bathrooms with over-bath showers.
