As this house is situated at the end of the street, there are some larger than average rooms which in turn result in some angular/irregular shapes bringing a degree of quirk and character to the home. The roof was overhauled in 2022 with new insulation, membrane and timber work/flashing reusing mostly the original tiles.

On the ground floor: vestibule, hallway, lounge, dining kitchen, garden room and downstairs WC. On the 1st floor: landing, family bathroom and 3 bedrooms. On the 2^nd floor: loft room/4^th bedroom. Externally: gardens to both front and rear.
