The wide entrance hall has polished parquet flooring which extends into the elegant dining room and sitting room which features a decorative period fireplace with gas fire. The kitchen is fitted with a natural slate floor and a range of cream Shaker style units with a breakfast bar to one side. A modern cloakroom completes the ground floor. On the first floor are 3 double bedrooms all of which are attractively decorated with neutral coloured carpets. There is a separate WC with modern fittings and a luxurious family bathroom with attractive tiling and featuring a free standing oval bath tub and stylish twin basin unit with good storage.
