The lobby serves as a utility area with space and provision for the laundry appliances and leads us to both the main accommodation and the separate working areas.

A cupboard offers a place for our coats and boots whilst doors open to three double bedrooms, the two larger rooms offer versatile spaces that look onto the main gardens whilst the slightly smaller looks to the front of the property. Exposed timber floor boards flow throughout these rooms adding character to the space.
