The first floor comprises the main bedroom with an en-suite shower room, a generously proportioned second bedroom, and a spacious landing, currently arranged as a home office. A family bathroom with a freestanding bath and Perrin & Rowe fittings completes this level. The top floor features a versatile loft room enhanced by a newly installed Velux skylight.

The property has been rewired and fitted with new sockets, contemporary lighting, and a modern central heating system featuring elegant column radiators throughout. Acoustic plasterboarding between rooms enhances privacy, while a comprehensive fire detection system provides peace of mind on every floor.
