A large window overlooks the courtyard letting light flood into the room and opposite is the open planned staircase to the first floor, under which is a panelled cupboard.

A blue wooden door opens out to the front of the house and like wise a large vista window looks down the ally giving a glimpse of the hustle and bustle of the street beyond. The kitchen has been fitted with a range of cream 'shaker' style wall and base units topped with a light beech affect worktop with inset sink and gas hob.
