Accommodation comprises an entrance hallway with solid wood parquet flooring running throughout most of the ground floor and stairs to the first floor with a useful under-stair cupboard. With large sash windows with secondary glazing throughout the original Victorian part of the house, there are three reception rooms all with open fireplaces. Attractive original stripped pine doors lead to all rooms and there are fitted cupboards and shelving to the fireplace recesses. The rear hallway area opens to the large kitchen/dining/sitting room with three sets of French doors leading out to the south-facing rear terrace and mature walled gardens.

The main kitchen area is fitted with a range of bespoke wall and base units with marble worktop and incorporates a central island with breakfast bar area, a large dresser style unit to the far end and a gas fired AGA has a small electric companion oven and hob. Unusually the kitchen has two hand painted murals which were completed by a local artist. Appliances include a Bosch dishwasher and a Blomberg full height fridge. Adjacent is a lobby with large built in pantry cupboard ( vented ) and a loft access.

A large cloakroom provides a shelved storage cupboard and coat hanging area. Adjacent to the lobby a utility room with Hotpoint washer/dryer and Bosch full height freezer leads to what was a former playroom with French doors leading to the rear terrace and garden ( currently used as a workshop ).
