This house really is very, very impressive and a credit to our clients love and attention with its upkeep. It has ornate ceilings and coving, tiled floors in the hallway, beautiful stained glass windows, original woodwork and some modern touches such as a great galley style kitchen. It was built with standard construction methods, warned by gas central heating with combi boiler and radiators, in addition to the 4 open fires, all of which are working.
The accommodation comprises of an entrance lobby leading to an inner hallway with the stairs rising to the first floor. The main living accommodation is made up of the living room and dining room separated only by pillars.

The bay window to the front floods the room with light. The dining room at the rear of the house features a wood burner surrounded by an original wooden surround, a side door with stained glass with glazed side panels leading to the side garden as well as French style doors leading to the garden room at the rear. The kitchen offers a selection of storage units in high gloss white with chrome handles and laminate worktops with fitted appliances such as a dishwasher, refrigerator, SMEG Double oven and grill and gas hob with concealed extraction and solid Canadian Maple wood on the floor. The utility room is next up with plumbing for the washing machine - an ideal place to wash a dirty dog! Behind this there is a store with a garage style door.
Going up the stairs, there is a generously proportioned bathroom made up of an Antique Rolltop bath with electric shower above, his and hers sinks, a toilet and large corner shower cubicle. There are three bedrooms - the master again featuring the wonderful period touches that make this house so impressive such as the stained glass windows and the coving.

Externally, there is a small front garden with mature plants and shrubs with grass, and the gardens continue around the side and on to the rear which also features lawn and patio.
