An attractive archway with display shelving adds character, while doors lead to both reception rooms and stairs rise to the first floor. There is under floor sheepswool insulation beneath the reception rooms, hallway and stairs.

The bay-fronted living room is a warm and inviting space centred around a wood-burning stove set within an open fireplace on a slate hearth, complemented by matching arched alcoves to either side. Decorative coving and a picture rail further enhance the room's period charm and there is a gas heating system radiator.

The spacious dining room provides a wonderful second reception room, again featuring a wood burning stove set within an open fireplace with fitted alcoves to either side. There is a useful understairs storage cupboard housing the wall-mounted gas boiler, while an opening and feature wall alcove create an attractive connection through to the kitchen.

Flooded with natural light from two Velux roof windows, a high-level window and sliding patio doors opening onto the garden, the kitchen is undoubtedly one of the property's standout features. Designed in a striking commercial-style finish, it is fitted with extensive stainless steel worktops, matching cabinetry and a central island / breakfast bar topped with Richlite paper based board, creating a practical workspace with a contemporary industrial feel reminiscent of a professional chef's kitchen. There is an inset sink with drainer, space for a range-style cooker, fridge/freezer and plumbing for a washing machine and an electric radiator.

The first-floor landing enjoys a side aspect window and provides access to both bedrooms and the family bathroom.

The principal bedroom is a generous double room with two front-facing windows, fitted wardrobes, gas heating radiator and an additional cupboard with steps leading to the useful boarded loft space with new insulation, roofing and skylight. The second bedroom is another comfortable double overlooking the rear garden and benefits from a built-in storage cupboard and electric radiator.

The bathroom is fitted with a three-piece suite comprising a panelled bath with Mira shower over, vanity wash hand basin and WC. The room is finished with part-tiled walls, a heated towel rail, window and a useful linen cupboard.

Externally, the property continues to impress. To the front is a practical log and bin store, while the enclosed rear garden has been designed for ease of maintenance with decorative stone paving and gravelled areas, enclosed by stone walling and benefitting from gated rear access and an outside water tap. Historically there has been a garage in the rear garden.

This delightful home combines character, practicality and a unique kitchen that is sure to appeal to keen cooks and those looking for something a little different.
