espalier ornamental and fruit trees.

The kitchen is a particular feature with lovingly restored original quarry tile floor, gas fired Aga, Belfast sink, generous room for dining and a seating area with French doors to the gardens.

A wrought iron gate leads through the privet hedge to an imposing wooden front door with wood and glazed side panels.

The entrance hall has two wooden cloaks cupboards, original wooden flooring and staircase, and as with the rest of the ground

The seating area has a gas fire with tiled and wood surround and French doors opening to the garden, whilst there is also ample space for a large family dining table.
