Accommodation

You approach the property through the front garden and enter into the entrance porch. A door leads you into the hallway which provides access to the kitchen, sitting room, bedroom, shower room, living room and stairs to the first floor. The sitting room is a good size with feature fireplace and window to the front aspect. The kitchen is fitted with dated wall and floor units with worktop, inset sink and space for appliances. Wall mounted boiler and dual aspect windows. What is currently used as a bedroom is a good size double room with window to the rear aspect. You then find the real feature of this property to the rear as you enter the living room space which is opened up onto a vaulted exposed wooden beam extension to the rear with views down the garden. Currently used as a dining/living room it is a great place to relax and entertain and also provides a mezzanine area above with raised decked seating area externally.
