The property features a flexible layout spread across two distinct first-floor areas, making it an adaptable space for various living arrangements. Outside, the expansive garden is a standout feature, complete with outbuildings, an historic well, and views of the nearby church. While the home requires updating, it presents an excellent opportunity for renovation and personalization, pending any necessary permissions. Upon entering, you are welcomed by a porch that leads into a reception room overlooking Calcutt Street.

An inner hall runs through the center of the house, passing a convenient ground-floor shower room before arriving at the kitchen/breakfast room.
