If anything, it exceeds expectations, as it is far bigger inside than you would imagine, having been sympathetically extended downstairs with meticulous attention to detail (such as including feature areas of flint in the outside walls) to ensure the integrity of its age and character is not compromised.
The hallway leads into a spacious sitting room with the all-important log burner, exposed brick walls, ceiling beams and engineered wood flooring.
It retains a large brick pillar from when it was one house with next door, which is a real feature and only serves to enhance the ambience of the room.
Another pleasing surprise is the large, walk-in cupboard which is perfect for hiding away children's toys.
The dining room beyond is enhanced by an exposed brick wall and French doors into the good sized walled rear garden.
Continue along and you reach a lovely downstairs bathroom, and beyond, a spacious and stylish kitchen which looks out to, and opens onto, the garden - ideal if you have young children you need to keep any eye on. The garden is actually bigger than it initially looks as it continues to a wide side area, where there is a shed, a bin store and gate for side access.
Upstairs, the two double bedrooms are charm personified, with their original ceiling beams and original pine doors. The main bedroom, to the front, spans the width of the property and also boasts a most attractive original cast iron fireplace and a vaulted ceiling.
Set well back from the road, with the prettiest of walled cottage gardens to the front, this unique semi detached property has a tangible charm that can only be fully appreciated by viewing in person.

Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
