A truly sociable and light-filled space, finished with an attractive quarried flagstone floor and plenty of wall and floor mounted storage; complete with a “tv cupboard” and double fronted larder.</p><p>For cooking there is an oversize Range Cooker, as well as a double Belfast sink, integrated fridge and dishwasher and, to add comfort to the dining room, a recessed wood burning stove. <br /></p><p>From the kitchen a hall leads down to the lower front door with access to a superb study / playroom / snug. This enjoys lovely afternoon light from the four sash bay window and is finished with a stripped wooden floor. <br /></p><p>Off the hall is a useful cloakroom with a w.c and wash basin, as well as a recessed utility cupboard with space and plumbing for a washing machine. <br /></p><p>Upstairs, across the first floor and two half-landing are three double bedrooms and a versatile fourth bedroom / nursery.<br /></p><p>Across the first floor lie two wonderful elegant double bedrooms; each with a period fireplace and the front enjoying a four sash bay window.</p><p>On both half-landings lies a bedroom each; with the top a sensible double flanked by a separate w.c and the lower, slightly smaller bedroom, flanked by a shower room with an enclosed shower and heated towel ladder. <br /></p><p><span style="font-size:0.875rem;letter-spacing:0.01em">On the first floor is the family bathroom; with an oversize corner bath, vanity basin, louvred fitted storage, towel ladder and an opaque sash window.</span></p><p>Accessed from the first floor landing is an accessible loft hatch, with folding wooden steps giving access to a sizeable fully boarded loft space with a decent pitched ceiling; perfect for long term storage along with a Velux window giving easy access to the roof.</p><p>Outside:<br /></p><p>As part of the property's sensitive refurbishment the rear garden has been extensively and beautifully designed; created from a rather drab single level expanse of hard-standing to a thriving green walled garden catching much of the day's sun. <br /></p><p>Immediately adjacent to the kitchen is a level terrace; perfect for al-fresco dining with shallow brick steps leading to the raised lawn and abundance of mature fully stocked borders. <br /></p><p>Deceptively private and a real sun-trap this is a space to be enjoyed all year ‘round. <br /></p><p>To the front, accessed via the shallow steps down to the lower front door is a pathway with useful low-level fitted storage for bins and recycling, as well as space to hide the occasional scooter or two softened with planted beds above.</p>
