Upon entering the home via the delightful front door with surrounding decorative glass fanlights, the bright and airy hallway boasts impressive dimensions with high ceilings, original cornicing and a large cast iron column radiator.

Positioned at the front of the property is the living room. Measuring 15'5" x 13'11", the room is decorated in neutral tones and benefits from deep skirting, decorative cornicing, a large ceiling rose, plus an exposed brick fireplace and log burner. The impressive bay window to the front elevation floods the room with an abundance of natural light.

Leading through, the second reception room is located at the heart of the ground floor and is currently used as a dining room, given its proximity to the adjoining kitchen.

Access to the rear garden is provided via a charming stable door, opening immediately onto a generous patio area.

Stairs from the hallway lead down to the basement, which benefits from a WC and provides a 19' x 11'3" space currently used as a music room / utility room.

Heading up to the first floor, there are three double bedrooms and a single bedroom, with bedrooms one, two and three boasting built-in wardrobes.
