Improvements - Since 2018, the current owners have invested in numerous improvements, including:
A new boiler and traditional-style radiators for efficient heating. Metal-framed double-glazed windows on the front elevation and restored and repainted windows at the rear for added insulation. Significant upgrades to insulation, electrical systems, replumbing, replastering, and redecorating, ensuring the home is both comfortable and energy-efficient.
