The ground floor features three spacious public rooms. The principal sitting room is enhanced by a magnificent bay window that floods the room with natural light, highlighting the intricate cornicing and original period details. The formal dining room comfortably accommodates a table for ten but is intimate enough for smaller gatherings and currently serves as a study. Tucked away behind the stairs the snug or family room has also served as a fourth double bedroom.

Below stairs, in classic Victorian style, the carefully crafted dining kitchen provides ample space for a family dining table and easy access to the terrace with its built-in barbecue; truly the beating heart of the home. Beyond the kitchen diner and completing the ground floor is a utility room designed for modern living. Space for drying wet coats and boots, a traditional pantry, laundry sink with plumbed space for a washing machine and a surprising tool cupboard. Opening off the laundry, a WC with period fittings is convenient for access from the garden.

Flooding the main hallway with light, halfway up the stairs, a tall Victorian etched screen with coloured-glass insets hides a double-glazed panel which traps heat inside the home. The upper hallway provides access to two generously proportioned bedrooms for family or guests. They share a modern shower room with rainwater shower and heated make-up mirror. Completing the accommodation is the generous principal bedroom suite. The principal bedroom retains original deep cornices and cabinet-fitted woodwork with a magnificent centre rose and original Victorian faux-shutters framing windows to the south and west.

Kitchen - The heart of this charming home is undoubtedly the kitchen. The room is in two carefully blended sections. A working kitchen and a substantial dining area. The centrepiece of the working heart of the room is a unique island unit which not only serves as a practical workspace but also adds to the kitchen’s undeniable charm. This large island provides ample surface area for meal preparation over storage and equipment provision below, making it both functional and stylish. The island unit also incorporates the four zone, WiFi enabled induction hob. Tucked away, out of sight of the dining area, you'll find the sink unit with marble worktop, an extending spray tap and space for the dishwasher. A very practical feature is the wine rack, ingeniously set within the old chimney breast. This unique storage area adds a touch of rustic charm to the kitchen, perfect for housing your favourite wines or keeping traditional beers at a drinking temperature, this is not just a cooking space but a comfortable gathering place for family and friends.
