Adjacent is the separate lounge, equipped with an open fireplace that further enhances the home’s traditional charm. The kitchen is functional with ample storage in its range of wall and base units and offers essential appliances like an integrated fridge and gas hob.

On the first floor, you will find two well-proportioned bedrooms served by a centrally located bathroom equipped with both a bath and electric shower. Natural light filters through double-glazed windows in each room, contributing to a bright and airy feel throughout.
