The accommodation comprises in brief;

To the ground floor, a light and spacious open - plan living room and dining room leads through to the fitted kitchen and a rear door to the yard. The living room has a square-bay window, a gas-fired-coal-effect fire with attractive display alcoves to either side, a further recessed bookshelf area, and exposed timber floor-boards. The dining area has built-n cupboards and a window onto the rear yard.

In our opinion, the kitchen could be re-configured to provide a ground floor WC / shower room and utility area, then to make the dining room into a larger dining-kitchen, perhaps with French doors onto the rear yard.

To the first floor, a bathroom features a three piece suite in white with shower over bath, WC, wash basin, and a useful airing cupboard. There is a double bedroom at the front, and the rear, both with built-in cupboards, and a good sized single bedroom also at the rear.

Stairs rise to the second floor attic bedroom with good light from a Velux window and with an extensive range of built-in eaves storage space.
