Inside there is a host of character throughout from thick stone walls, timber brace and latch doors, and deep silled windows.

There is a high-quality herringbone Luxury Vinyl Tiled (LVT) floor that flows through to the Rear Hall and beyond, whilst timber brace and latch doors lead into the principal accommodation.
• Generously sized Living Room, situated in the oldest part of the House with a large window to the side elevation, a quaint window seat and the original rear of the post box in the wall (now sealed shut). There is an exposed beam in the ceiling, an exposed floor with part of the original quarry tiled flooring, and the original front door has been insulated and boarded for convenience but can easily be removed for access.
• Beautifully finished hand built Kitchen, refitted with a continuation of the herringbone LVT flooring, a window to the rear elevation, LED downlights, attractive LED kickboard and high-level unit lighting, and a fitted Kitchen to include a floor to ceiling wall of shaker style units, low level units topped with granite work surfaces with upstand, a composite inset double sink, and ‘Samsung’ Wi-Fi smart integrated appliances to include a dishwasher, two electric ovens and an induction hob automatically linked to the contemporary extractor hood.

With timber effect LVT flooring, the room is also naturally light from the two windows to the side elevation and the glass panelled door and window to the rear elevation.
