Additional Information - The house is full of character features, including mellow floorboards, fireplaces and stripped panelled doors with brass knob furniture. High specification fixtures are visible throughout and number amongst them wooden louvre shutters, column radiators and timber double-glazed timber windows, with underfloor heating fitted throughout the ground floor.

The kitchen is illuminated by two lantern windows and tall aluminium bifold doors that face the courtyard garden; engineered floorboards continue through to the dining area where floor-to-ceiling French doors also face the garden. An appealing indoor/outdoor living space of nearly 200 sq ft is formed when both sets of doors are wide open. The contemporary galley kitchen has exposed brickwork and is fitted with multiple units including a larder cupboard, wooden worktops and integrated appliances. There is ample space to accommodate a good-sized table in the dining room and a casement window adds further light. To the front of the property is a well-proportioned living room with a large multi-paned window and a wood-burning stove housed in a fireplace, flanked by a built-in cupboard.

On the first floor, the large double bedroom spans the front elevation of the house, has fitted wardrobes and features the original cast-iron fireplace. The luxurious house bathroom has contemporary fittings with a four-piece suite that includes a walk-in shower, vanity unit with basin and freestanding bath. A door on the landing gives access to the long roof terrace garden. On the second floor is a large, versatile, light-filled room with a Velux window and a dormer window presenting an opportunity to create a charming office area. This top floor room is an ideal bedroom/living space.

Outside - At the front of the property are two informal off-street parking spaces and an area of lawn, in regular use by the current owner. We have been advised that both are on unregistered land.

The courtyard garden is private and enclosed by a tall fence with trellis, laid with stone flags; it is connected to the house on two sides and is an ideal space for al fresco dining.

Accessed from the first floor is a charming roof terrace garden that extends nearly 20 ft in length and is a private space, ideal for sitting and enjoying a leafy outlook. It is laid with artificial grass and enclosed by a glass balustrade and picket fence on the south side.
