The house is ready to move into having been refurbished throughout over the past couple of years. The refurbishments bring the property up to the desired standards for comfortable modern-day living, whilst maintaining the character of the property with original features. The two reception rooms at the front of the house both have the original slate fireplaces, and the fireplace in the front living room is open and fully functional. The front living room also features a bay window, and plenty of space for the whole family to relax. The dining room features a log burner and French doors leading out to the rear garden. There is plenty of space for a large dining table and chairs, perfect for sitting down for a meal with the whole family. The kitchen was installed in 2020 and features integrated appliances, modern-fitted grey wall and base units, solid wood worktops, and a Belfast sink. The new bathroom was also installed in 2020, but the original bath from circa 1895 has been preserved. The bath has a brass waterfall showerhead over the top, and is complimented by the traditional style wash basin and toilet. The master bedroom at the front of the house features a bay window which allows plenty of natural light to fill the room, and an original fireplace. There is plenty of space for a king size bed, wardrobes, chests of drawers, bedside tables, and a dressing table. The other two bedrooms both have space for double beds, and freestanding furniture.
Care has been taken to upgrade the property from top to bottom. The upgrades include a new roof in 2021, the chimney at the front of the house has been rebuilt, all suspended floors downstairs have had new joists, boards and been fully insulated, new guttering, new front facias, a new front door with Ultron locking system, a hard-wired and fused Ring doorbell, and a Nest thermostat. The property has also had a rewire in 2020, and was fully re-plumbed from the road.  

You can access the rear garden via the kitchen or via the dining room. To the foot of the house is the well-presented patio. This is an ideal area for some outdoor furniture to sit and enjoy the sun, or host a barbecue with friends. Alternatively, the space could be used for a hot tub to relax during the summer. The garden is also low-maintenance, offering a grass lawn that offers a splash of colour, and space for the kids to play and the dog to run around. To the back is another patio, offering an alternative seating area. The back also offers a well-maintained wooden shed that offers storage for gardening supplies, bikes, and outdoor furniture.
