Reclaimed floorboards extend the length of the room and sit beautifully against the white-washed walls. The kitchen sits off to the left with bespoke panelled base cupboards are topped with white stone worktop. A few of the original Elm floorboards have been repurposed to make three full-height cupboards, two as additional storage and one hiding the integrated fridge freezer.

The utility area houses the boiler, and a laundry with a w/c, and a door for rear access to the veranda. The dining area accommodates a large dining table whilst the sitting area is beyond. French doors at the end of the room open out onto the south-facing garden.

On the left-hand side of the house are two further reception rooms, both boast reclaimed cheese boards underfoot and are separated by a pair of wedding doors, that can be left open as one big room or closed off. The large room is set up as a snug complete with a wood-burning stove, alcove bookshelves, and original stripped shutters. The smaller music room has a window overlooking an internal courtyard where the entrance to the annex is located. This second room easily could lend itself to a playroom or even an office. 

The first-floor landing holds all four bedrooms and the family bathroom. A large double room is on the left-hand side benefiting from exposed brickwork, a built-in wardrobe, and views of the garden below. Opposite is the family bathroom, with a bath and a walk-in shower, finished with metro tiling and rustic wood panelling. On the same side sits the second double bedroom, a large room with painted floorboards, and a crisp white shower room en-suite.

Then the primary bedroom which is accessed via an internal corridor, boasts dual aspect, exposed floorboards with a dressing room, and an ensuite shower room. Winding up the elm staircase to the second floor you will find four rooms in the eaves which can be used for storage, play rooms or even hobby rooms if desired.
