The first reception room off to the right has been used by the present owner as a music room but would make an ideal office or snug. Double doors lead off the hall into a very generously sized family sitting room with an original feature fireplace housing a wood-burning stove.At the end of the hall, a door leads into a family room/play room which could also be used as a formal dining room and has a large utility room off with plumbing for a washing machine and space for whitegoods.The living, dining kitchen is a massive feature of the property, measuring a huge 30ft x almost 20ft and is a fantastic space for the family and for entertaining.
