The grand tour

Using the main entrance door to the front there is firstly a very useful porch/lobby with space for coats and shoes and a door beyond leading to the rear garden. The door to the left takes you into the main reception room, an impressive space filled with natural light from the dual aspect with the addition of original tiled flooring and a brick fireplace housing a woodburner. Beyond the reception is the kitchen with a range of wall and base level units and wood effect worktops over. There are integrated appliances to include electric oven and induction hob with extractor fan and dishwasher. There is space for the fridge/freezer separately within the alcove as well as built in understairs storage. A door from the kitchen also leads out to the garden beyond. Heading up to the first floor landing you will find two bedrooms and a family bathroom. The main bedroom is a stunning space again filled with natural light, wood flooring and an airing cupboard. The other bedroom is more modest in size but still a double with the bathroom adjacent. The bathroom has been updated in recent years with aqua boarding, a bath with shower over, w/c and hand wash basin. Externally within the traditional outbuilding is the studio office space which could be used in a number of ways but makes an ideal extra reception space / studio with vaulted ceiling and doors onto the rear garden. There is also a utility/laundry room with space for white goods as well as an adjacent w/c / shower room.
