Property description

Notable features include: original sash windows, exposed beams, feature brick fireplaces, oak doors throughout and hand-made French terracotta tiled flooring in the reception rooms.

It's currently used as a utility-cum-pantry with space/plumbing for a fridge and tumble dryer. A partially glazed door leads out into the rear garden.
