The generous living room enjoys a desirable west-south-facing aspect, allowing an abundance of natural light, and is finished with light, neutral decor, wood-effect flooring, period ornate cornicing, a feature fireplace surround, and a useful built-in cupboard.

Set to the rear, the kitchen is well-appointed with a range of wall and base units, stone-effect worktops, tiled splashbacks, a sink with a drainer, and space for freestanding appliances. The spacious double bedroom is tastefully finished in light decor with wood-effect flooring and benefits from a large built-in wardrobe, a charming window seat, additional built-in storage, and a bespoke shelving feature.

Completing the accommodation, the bathroom is fitted with a three-piece suite incorporating an electric shower over the bath and partially tiled walls.
