Step Inside - Walk through the pretty timber porch to the front door. Open your front door into a hallway, head to the right through the beautiful glass-stained double doors and into the family room. Here, the period charm comes alive, this space has a cosy, intimate feel with original beam, cupboards and exposed brick chimney breast with Dovre cast iron electric coal effect stove. There is loads of room for comfy sofas where the family can be together relaxing watching a movie. This opens into the dining room, a light bright place for casual midweek suppers and formal entertaining.

The kitchen is accessed via the family room and a useful boot room (with separate cloak room and with door to the rear). The kitchen has a farmhouse vibe with Shaker style cream base and wall mounted cupboards and drawers which perfectly complements the worksurface. There is a brick fireplace with rustic mantel which also has a Dovre cast iron electric coal effect stove. Fitted with all mod cons for a busy cook, including Belling double oven, ceramic hob with five rings and warming plate, and extractor hood. The quarry tiled flooring is in keeping with the style.
