A glazed door opens into a bright and welcoming hallway. To the right, the kitchen has an excellent range of cream base and wall units topped with contrasting granite work surfaces, complemented by an elegant display cabinet. The floor is laid with distinctive mosaic stone tiles, while windows on two sides, along with two Velux roof windows, flood the space with natural light. Integrated appliances include a Smeg oven with five-ring hob and extractor above, as well as a dishwasher.

To the left of the hallway is the bathroom, fully tiled to both walls and floor. Its period-inspired design includes a freestanding roll-top bath with shower attachment, a wash basin, WC, and a traditional-style radiator.

The sitting room is generously proportioned, with large windows on two sides creating a bright and airy feel. A multi-fuel stove set on a slate hearth within a decorative timber surround provides a classic focal point. This main public room affords space for a dining table and chairs.

One of the double bedrooms is located on the ground floor, with a large window overlooking the rear garden.

From the sitting room, a winding staircase ascends through the turret to the first floor. At both the base and top of the turret, panel radiators provide warmth, while an external door at the base opens directly to the garden. The turret walls are tiled, and three windows allow natural light to stream in.
Upstairs, there are two further spacious double bedrooms. The third bedroom is currently arranged as a dressing room, creating a versatile suite alongside the shower room. The modern shower room is fitted with a wash basin, WC, and corner shower enclosure.
