The bright living room features an open fire with a brick hearth, tiled surround and timber mantle; the floor is wood laminate finished in a parquet style and double doors lead to the dining room with views over the rear garden.

The floor tiles also continue into the utility room, which has plumbing for a washing machine, vent for a tumble drier and space for a fridge freezer.
