In all, the accommodation comprises:- entrance porch, sitting room, dining room, kitchen, rear lobby/study and W.C. to the ground floor. Three bedrooms and a family bathroom to the first floor, with two further bedrooms on the second floor. There is a front garden and rear walled garden with garage at the top, accessed via a private lane. Subject to necessary consents, this could be transformed into a car port with further parking. Please note that white goods, carpets and curtains will be included in the sale.The property boasts a wealth of character features including Regency bay windows and French doors, stained glass, original cornicing and slate flooring.
