Lying to the left of the hall, the sitting room is one of the highlights of the property. With lovely decorative cornicework, panelled decorative frieze and an original fireplace, the room is full of traditional details. The warm red walls complement the white ceilings and mantelpiece, ensuring the room appears welcoming and it would make an excellent space to enjoy time together as a family.

The kitchen offers ample space for a dining table and chairs, and also features French doors which lead out to the rear garden.

The master bedroom of the property is positioned to the right of the hallway, directly opposite the sitting room. With a large window overlooking the gardens and street to the front of the property, this room appears exceptionally bright and spacious. It also benefits from a lovely en suite shower room.
