Both rooms are beautifully finished with original stripped wood flooring, adding to the home’s timeless character.

Integrated appliances include a double electric oven, gas hob with matching filter hood over, dishwasher, fridge, and freezer, alongside a practical water softener. For a clutter-free finish, a separate utility room provides a dedicated space for a tumble dryer and plumbing for a washing machine.

Notably, this room is perfectly positioned to be easily incorporated as an en-suite to the primary bedroom, offering excellent future potential.
