Unfurnished

Prior to occupation, both bedrooms will benefit from newly fitted carpets and the property will be freshly decorated throughout where required.

Additional Information

Due to the property's age and character, the staircase is relatively steep and narrow compared to that of a modern home. Prospective tenants with very young children or pets are encouraged to consider whether the layout is suitable for their individual needs. Well-behaved pets will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

Current occupiers have successfully used the broadband connection for home working, video calls and streaming services, and full-fibre broadband will shortly be available in the area.
