The Accommodation
PORCH 8ft x 5ft 7" (2.4m x 1.7m)
A big and bright first entrance area with plenty of room for a coat rack or an area for the buggy. At the moment with the owner's freestanding cupboard holding a lot of shoes.
The big windows bathe it in light and the high ceiling makes it seem even bigger.
HALL 13ft 9" x 8ft 6" (4.2m x 2.6m)
A lovely area to receive guests with Grey Oak effect flooring.
On the right a doorway leads off to a corridor accessing the Garage and then the ground floor bedroom, ground floor shower room and the laundry room.
LOUNGE 23ft narrowing to 15ft 8" x 13ft (7m > 4.8m x 4m)
This room takes full advantage of its perfect aspect - South West facing, thus enjoying direct sunshine most of the day.

DINING ROOM 17ft 9" x 10ft 5" (5.4m x 3.2m)
