The accommodation briefly comprises: large entrance porch, hallway, lounge, dining room, breakfast kitchen and utility room with storage area. To the upper floor there are two double bedrooms, master with ensuite shower and a Victorian style bathroom. The loft space is reached with a pull down ladder and is fully boarded throughout with a Velux window and separate room that houses the gas combi boiler.
