To the left, an extensive sitting room of about 29’6” x 14’7” GIA includes a large fireplace with an inset wood burner within a red brick surround. The room is triple aspect, including a full height window, which ensures the room is flooded with natural light.

There are two further well proportioned bedrooms to the first floor, one of which is currently utilised as a home office, and a modern four piece family bathroom.
