From its stone arched entranceway fronting on Church Street, double doors open into a quarry tiled entrance hall with a neat cloaks cupboard; an internal door leading into the principal living room. This lounge is a generous yet cosy reception space with beamed ceiling and an exceptionally impressive fireplace with stone over mantel and a working fire within. This fireplace is surrounded by exposed stonework with a ledge and brace door opening into a deep store cupboard. A further arched doorway opens into a stairwell with original stone staircase leading to the first floor. The living room is of great proportions with ample room for seating and also for a dining table. A deep-silled window looks onto Church Street and a doorway leads into the kitchen.

The kitchen/dining room is a good sized space from which there is access into the sunroom. The kitchen itself looks over the back garden and features two runs of units with freestanding stainless steel cooker to remain and space/plumbing for washing machine/dishwasher and fridge freezer. A doorway from the kitchen leads to the rear garden while an additional door opens into the ground floor bathroom with its contemporary suite of bath, WC and hand-basin. Accessible immediately from the breakfast room is a wonderfully positioned garden room enjoying a westerly aspect with windows – and a door – looking out over and opening onto the enclosed rear garden.

The original stone staircase is accessed from the lounge and runs to the first floor landing with doors leading into the two double bedrooms and to the shower room. The largest of the two bedrooms is dual aspect with a deep window looking into Church Street and a second window to the rear elevation. This bedroom has a second, exceptional feature fireplace with stone over mantel. Both the two bedrooms are doubles and both share use of a compact shower suite. A pull-down ladder from the landing area gives entry to the attic space, an easily accessed space with two skylight windows to the rear and boarded flooring, ideal for storage.
