Entering the property through the front door, the entrance hallway has doors radiating to the ground floor living accommodation and stairs rising to the first floor with an under stair cupboard.

Arched glazed double doors open to the living room which is a fantastic space with a large window to the front of the property allowing natural light to flood the room. There are exposed stone walls and further smaller and quirkier windows provide further views outside. The living room has an impressive H Walker & Sons Limited, Newcastle cast iron roasting fire and oven with a slate hearth bringing warmth to the room in the winter months, while a door opens to the garden at the rear.

Returning to the entrance hallway there is a ground floor shower room with WC, wash hand basin and shower with tiling to the walls and floors with mosaic detailing.

Accessed from the hallway is the dining room with exposed stone walls, a door to the front of the property and wrought iron detailing leading through to the kitchen. The dining room has a beautiful flagstone floor that flows through from the entrance hallway.

The kitchen is the heart of the property and is fitted with a range of wall and base units with granite work surfaces and integrated appliances including a fridge/freezer, dishwasher, washing machine and microwave. A focal point of the kitchen is the cream electric AGA with tiled splashback and brick detailing to either side. There is a kitchen island which has further storage space and houses the integrated microwave. There is further space for a breakfast table and chairs if required. From the kitchen, a door opens to the rear garden.

Taking the stairs to the first floor there is a charming small window demonstrating the unique elements of the property. On the landing, there is a floor level window which is the top of an original archway on the property and is a lovely feature bringing natural light to the space along with a Velux roof light too.

The master bedroom lies at the end of the landing and is a good sized double bedroom with fitted wardrobes and having views to the garden at the rear and a Velux window.
