Entrance Hall
The hallway offers a bright and welcoming entrance to the property. There are stripped floorboards, dado rail and skirting, and the use of colour and pattern is in sympathy with the feel and age of the property. The staircase is covered with a neutral loop style carpet, and the original cast iron newel post at the foot of the original staircase has been stripped and blackened. The stripped skirting, doors and architraves continue throughout the hallway and onto the landing of both floors. The original coving, archway and corbels are intact, and the hallway has a chandelier and spotlights so it is a bright and airy space. A double radiator is behind a decorative radiator cover, and there is a matching cupboard housing
the electricity meter.


Sitting Room 4.19m 13 9 x 3.71m 12 2
The sitting room faces south east and combines a modern aesthetic with Victorian elegance. The stripped floorboards, skirtings and heritage decor are complemented by a feature original fireplace swept annually and can burn smokeless coal and or kiln dried wood. The hearth is the original green Victorian tiling. There is also a double radiator. The tall timber sash double glazed windows in the bay allow plenty of light, keep the room warm, and are dressed with fitted white Venetian blinds. The alcoves either side of the chimney breast have built in painted pine shelving, and there is space for freestanding cupboards under. The room takes two or three sofas comfortably. There is ample wall space for artwork or photos, and the hedges and cherry tree in the pretty front garden provide screening for privacy and against bright sunlight. There is a ceiling rose, original picture rail and ornate coving to the ceiling, and a stripped pine door with porcelain knob and escutcheon.
Reception Room Snug 3.81m 12 6 x 2.79m 9 2
The second reception room is such a cosy room, and very versatile in that it has been used for formal dining, an office study, music room, and even an extra bedroom for guests with a sofa bed. This room is currently being used as a TV room snug during the colder months as it has a multi fuel stove swept annually and there is a double radiator behind a radiator cover. There is built in painted pine shelving in the left hand alcove and there is space for a cupboard underneath. Stripped floorboards and the stripped door add to the warm feel of this homely and stylishly decorated space.

Breakfast Room and Kitchen 6.4m 21 0 x 3.2m 10 6
Stepping down through the stripped pine breakfast room door, there is room for a dresser and a table, with a double radiator below the stripped pine sash window. Opposite the window is a beautiful royal blue 4 oven gas Aga, offering warmth, cooking and a great place to dry washing. The gentle heat from the Aga permeates the whole of this area and drifts up the stairs keeping the hallway, stairs and landing toasty and welcoming. There is a tall under stairs cupboard housing the gas meter which offers great storage capacity, and the boiler is concealed within a wall cupboard. Further painted cupboards and a dark worktop lead into the run of units in the kitchen, which has a dishwasher, washing machine, integral under counter fridge, stainless steel sink and a large recently installed double glazed patio door leading to the rear garden. Mediterranean tile colours behind the Aga and above the worktop provide visual interest, and the large space is both spacious and homely, as well as functional and well laid out with ample storage and worktop area. There are also two windows which were replaced in October 2024, meaning this north west facing area maximises light and benefits from full evening sunshine during the summer months. The kitchen floor is tiled for practicality.

The huge floor to ceiling double glazed timber sliding sash windows in the bay and above the front door make this such a bright space, and the neutral decor showcases the feature original fireplace, which is the same design as in the living room. This room makes a wonderful extra sitting room for parents in a busy household, but it also has the potential to be split into two rooms as other similar properties have done.

Bedroom 2 3.81m 12 6 x 3m 9 10

Loft Room 4.8m 15 9 x 3.61m 11 10

There is a built in wardrobe with hanging space and shelves, as well as cupboards leading to eaves storage which run the entire width of the roof space both front and back.

The room has a laminate floor and is a great space for a teenage hangout and is insulated so well it has been used for band practices in the past.
Family Shower Room 4.8m 15 9 x 3.61m 11 10
