From the sitting room, a door leads past the staircase to the open plan kitchen diner. This generous room has a tiled floor, exposed stone walls, panelling and a recently fitted kitchen (2022). The kitchen features an array of cabinets with pale taupe Shaker style doors and drawers, space for both a range cooker and fridge freezer along with a ceramic 1 1/2 bowl sink and a breakfast bar to seat three to four people.

At the rear of the property is a second double bedroom with side aspect, wooden fireplace with cast iron insert and a cupboard housing the 'i-mini' combi-boiler.

Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
