Other classy touches in both rooms include stripped back wooden doors, brass door knobs and finger plates.
A stripped wooden staircase leads down to the garden level and an open plan kitchen/dining room.

The island contains the sink and accommodates space for a dishwasher and a built-in fridge below. The range cooker has 5 ring gas hob and double electric oven. There is also a built-in full height fridge freezer.
The bay window to the front of the house provides access to steps leading up to street level and allows extra light into this lovely space. A family sized dining table and chairs fit comfortably against the far wall. At the back of this room is a former fireplace with exposed wooden mantle. The back door leads into the conservatory which then opens onto a decking area.
Heading upstairs from entrance hall; there is a toilet on the mezzanine level and the stairs then lead to the first floor landing. From here toward the back of the house is the 4th bedroom which looks out over the back garden. At the front of the house is a large double bedroom with double sash windows looking out onto St Saviours Road. Adjacent to this room is the bathroom with tiled floor and sink set into a vanity unit with a large mirror in front.

The bedroom at the back of the house has a Velux widow in the north facing slope of the roof and a sash window looking over the back garden. The master bedroom at the front of the house has a sash window looking out to the front of the house and also has Velux window. Both of these bedrooms have good views and an interesting feature where the chimney breast curves up against the outside wall.
The garden of this property is laid out in terraces gently sloping down toward the brook at the back of the garden.
