The sitting room is the heart and soul of the house and is filled with character features, from exposed beams and brickwork to an inglenook fireplace. The fireplace was rebuilt by the current owners as part of the project, and they have also installed a wood burner, ideal for those who want to sit and relax in front of the fire.

The kitchen is spacious, with plenty of room for a dining table and chairs, and there are a range of integrated appliances, as well as several base and wall units and a butler sink.

Completing the ground floor is the family bathroom, which has been designed with traditional fittings in keeping with the house. It includes a walk-in shower, roll top bath in the centre of the room, WC, sink and wash basin.

Planning permission was granted in March 2016 to have the living space extended, and drawings and further information are available on request.

Two sets of stairs lead up to the first floor, one from the kitchen and the other in the inner hallway.
