The property is approached via the front garden, where the scale of the plot immediately becomes apparent. Stepping inside, the entrance hall provides access to the principal accommodation and creates a practical introduction to the home, showcasing original Parquet flooring. The layout has been thoughtfully arranged to provide a clear separation between living and sleeping areas, whilst offering flexibility for those wishing to adapt the existing configuration to suit contemporary requirements.

At the heart of the accommodation is the spacious living room, a reception space centred around an original fireplace that was restored from Flixton Hall, serving as a focal point of the room. Generous proportions provide ample room for a variety of furniture arrangements, making it ideal for everyday family life.

Adjacent to the living room is a separate dining room/fourth bedroom. Benefitting from a second fireplace and useful built-in storage, this versatile room could continue to serve as a dining area or be adapted to suit individual requirements.

The kitchen/breakfast room forms the heart of the home, offering excellent proportions and considerable scope for modernisation. Currently fitted with a range of units and a sink with drainer, the space is well positioned for a comprehensive redesign to create a contemporary kitchen tailored to individual tastes.
