Lounge

4.53m x 3.6m

A generous principal reception room positioned at the front of the house. The room features a large double-glazed bay window which creates a bright seating area and gives the room a good sense of space. Decorative ceiling coving and deep skirting boards add character, while a traditional fireplace with timber surround and tiled hearth provides a strong focal point.
Exposed timber floorboards are currently visible, offering scope for sanding and refinishing or for a purchaser to lay flooring of their choice. The proportions comfortably allow for a substantial suite of furniture while retaining plenty of circulation space.

Dining Room

3.62m x 3.6m

A well-sized second reception room situated to the rear of the property. A double-glazed window overlooks the rear, while a period-style fireplace with timber surround provides the main feature of the room.

Its position alongside the kitchen makes it ideal as a formal dining room, second sitting room or family room.
