The utility room has space for a washing machine and dryer, while in the hallway there is an understairs cupboard, and an external door into the storm porch, which leads into the rear garden.
On either side of the hall is a large dual-aspect lounge and sitting room; both with working fireplaces.
A staircase leads to the first floor landing with three generous double bedrooms, plus a family bathroom with a newly fitted shower over the bath, a toilet and wash-basin.
