the door straight ahead, which leads to a set of private interior
stairs and space for your coats and shoes. As you reach the top,

wooden flooring, this room makes a real statement and has a feeling

dining table and additional seating too. The original fireplace has
been replaced with a working modern fireplace with firewood
feature, with recesses either side to house your TV, bookcases,
display units or whatever you desire for your chosen orientation.
The wooden window frames are contrasted by the sophisticated white
shutters and the footprint of the room could easily carry powerful
art pieces, bold colour accents and even separately zoned living
eating entertaining areas if you wish.
Back to the hallway now and as you walk past bedroom two
towards the kitchen on your right, you ll quickly be struck by the
gorgeous stained glass window light in the ceiling above, decorated
wuth original coving. This lovely feature brings in lots of natural
light and acts as an eye catching centrepiece, highlighting the
light decor with dark wood accents here. The curved wall joining
the kitchen is a delightful design touch.

practicality. A range of white base and wall units with white

all remaining, so you re ready to go. There s also a recently
installed Valiant boiler tucked away to provide your hot water and

just three years ago. Fully tiled in white and with a matching
white suite, the black hexagonal flooring and bath panel along with
the dark wood shelving accents and under sink unit add some depth
of character into this light and airy space. As an added bonus, the
bathroom also has integrated under floor heating for those colder
months and offers access to the loft space which is for exclusive
use of the property owner.

the property, offering a tranquil space away from the main living
areas. Another great sized room, the oval bay window is a real
focal point, setting the scene for the era appropriate decoration
here. Sage green walls are complemented by the wooden window frames
and light grey carpet, with neutral paintwork and a three door
fitted mirrored wardrobe finishing the look. You can easily add to
the storage space with some chunky drawer units and a dressing
table whatever you need to make life in your beautiful new home
