Ground Floor
At the front of the property is a traditional 'front room' which has an imposing bay window and a chimney breast, where in years gone by had an open grate fireplace, which could easily be reinstalled or even the addition of a wood burning stove. From here a door opens to a dedicated dining room where there is a window to the front stairs rising to the first floor and stairs descending to the basement room. There is a working open grate fireplace in the dining room with decorative period surround and hearth. From here you lead directly to the kitchen, which is fitted with a comprehensive range of pine effect base and eye level units, which incorporate several drawers, one and a half bowl sink with drainer and integrated oven. The kitchen is further complimented by a dedicated utility room which has a door opening to the rear garden and a door opening to a useful ground floor shower room.
Lower Ground Floor
Stairs from the dining room lead down to the lower ground floor basement room which could be converted into a home office or even family room benefitting from a bay window to the front.
First Floor
The landing at first floor level has a second set of stairs ascending to the second floor and doors opening to all first floor accommodation. The principal bedroom is positioned at the front of the property and has a bay window mirroring the living room at ground floor level. The second bedroom overlooks the rear garden and meadow beyond. Moving down the landing to the very rear of the property there is a first floor bathroom which is fitted with a three piece suite with a window to the side.
Second Floor
The whole of the second floor is where the third bedroom is positioned with ample storage into the eaves. While there is a dormer window to the rear giving excellent views over the meadow land to the rear, this room could be transformed into a brilliant principal bedroom suite with ensuite bathroom (STNP).
