Stepping inside, the lounge is centred around a brick fireplace with a freestanding stove set on a raised hearth. A front-facing window frames the field views, and there are built-in storage cupboards on either side of the chimney breast. A staircase rises to the first floor from this room.

The dining room sits to the rear, providing a generous space with a window overlooking the garden. Built-in cupboards add practical storage, and a door leads through to the kitchen. The kitchen is fitted with wall and base units, tiled splashbacks and work surfaces, with a sink positioned beneath a window looking out to the rear. A stable style door opens into the conservatory.

Extending the living space, the conservatory is constructed with brick lower walls and glazed elevations beneath a translucent roof, creating a bright transition space with direct access to the garden.
