There are two generous reception rooms; the front benefits from a wide bay sash window, and both retain substantial ornate cast iron fireplaces. One of these rooms is currently used as additional bedroom.

The dual aspect kitchen/breakfast room, with glazed double doors opening onto the rear terrace, is fitted with cream coloured cabinetry and provides ample space for freestanding appliances. A shower room with WC completes the ground floor.

On the first floor are three large double bedrooms, including the principal bedroom at the front which spans the full width of the house and features three sash windows overlooking the greensward. Two of the bedrooms also retain cast iron fireplaces. The family bathroom includes a bath with shower over.

Subject to the necessary consents, the property offers excellent potential to extend, enhancing both the living and bedroom/bathroom accommodation, in a manner similar to many neighbouring homes.
