Dating back to the 1800s, the property has just under 1,790 sq. ft. of versatile accommodation, set over three floors, and retains many original features such as exposed beams and sash windows. The front door has a rectangular fanlight above and opens into an entrance hall/family room which has dual aspect windows, including a sash window to the front, a fireplace and access to a cloakroom . The ground floor also has a sitting room with a canted bay window with storage cupboards below, and a dining room with exposed ceiling beams, built-in shelving, access to an understairs cupboard, and a dual aspect fireplace shared with a breakfast area which has an opening to the kitchen. On the first floor there are two double bedrooms, one of which has an en suite shower room. There is also a four piece family bathroom. Stairs from the inner landing on the first floor lead up to a further bedroom which has an en suite shower room, eaves storage, and two gabled dormers overlooking the front.

Kitchen/Breakfast Room

The dual aspect kitchen/breakfast room has a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams and timbers, French doors to the courtyard garden, and tiled flooring which continues into the dining room. The kitchen is fitted with a range of wooden wall and base units, including glazed display cabinets, with quartz work surfaces incorporating a stainless steel sink and drainer.
