Sliding French doors open through to the second reception room, which offers flexibility as either a sitting room or an additional bedroom. This space also retains a character fireplace and flows seamlessly into the conservatory/dining room, where garden views and French doors create a bright and relaxed setting for dining.

The kitchen is both practical and full of charm, fitted with wooden work surfaces, a Butler sink, and space for a range cooker. French doors open directly onto the garden, enhancing the connection between indoor and outdoor living. A lobby/utility area sits just beyond, providing space for appliances and access to the ground floor cloakroom.
