ACCOMMODATION

A traditional forecourt with neatly clipped hedges and central pathway leads up to the modern front door and into the hallway. The period features begin to reveal themselves, setting the tone for the rest of the property. Embossed wallpaper adds texture and the eye is drawn towards the impressive staircase towards the rear. The two reception rooms both lead off from this initial space - both ideal for relaxing, entertaining and TV watching. The larger of the two has a brick fireplace with grate for an open fire.

The kitchen is accessed from the rear of the hallway - a good sized room fitted with cream shaker style units, dark worktops and a stainless steel sink.
