The communal entrance is particularly striking, featuring original flagstone flooring and what would historically have been the carriageway. The front door opens into a reception room currently used as a living room, where a stone-surround fireplace with a working log burner forms an attractive focal point. Original floorboards, large windows overlooking the courtyard, and bold red walls create a dramatic yet welcoming atmosphere. Spotlights with dimmer controls and smart plugs add modern convenience and energy efficiency. The current owners have cleverly utilised a mezzanine space above into a useful additional area. Filled with natural light from two Velux windows, the space features a glass and timber balustrade, dark grey carpeting and dimmable spotlights.

Integrated appliances include a four-ring gas hob, Neff Slide & Hide oven, stainless-steel extractor hood, and two under-counter fridges, one incorporating a small freezer compartment. The kitchen flows into a highly versatile room, currently arranged as a dining area with ample space for a large dining table and additional seating. Features include dimmable spotlights, large-format dark floor tiles, a column radiator and a door providing access to the side of the property, parking area and gardens beyond.
