The kitchen opens up to a rear lobby area that has a door to the newly refitted shower room and French doors to the rear garden decking.
The basement is a fantastic bonus room that has been fully tanked and can be used as a TV room or 'man cave'.
Upstairs, the first-floor landing gives way to three large double bedrooms, all of which boast a huge degree of character features and built-in storage cupboards in bedrooms 1 & 2. The bathroom has also been refitted to comprise a white bath with central chrome fittings, a handheld shower head, a wash hand basin, w/c, and an airing cupboard.
Also from the landing, there is a wooden staircase leading to a good-sized loft room. Planning permission is still valid to turn this into a habitable room.
Outside, the property sits on an impressive plot of 0.21 acres that is mainly lawn and bordered by mature trees and shrubs with a decking area adjacent to the property's rear lobby area. There is parking on a concrete drive for four to five cars behind a wooden gate at the side of the property and a detached garage that was constructed approximately nine years ago by the previous owners with loft space above, which is accessed via a staircase.
