Beautifully presented throughout, the house offers generous and versatile accommodation. The ground floor briefly comprises a porch, living room, sitting room, dining room, kitchen, utility room and shower room, while the first floor provides four well-proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom. Character features are abundant, from slate flagstone floors in the kitchen to exposed beams in the principal reception rooms and bedrooms. Deep stone fireplaces with woodburning stoves add warmth and atmosphere, and the kitchen retains its original 1940s solid-fuel Rayburn, now complemented by oil-fired central heating system. Outside, the property enjoys a private rear garden, workshop, large garage and off-street parking for up to three vehicles.
