Welcome Home
Upon entering through the porch, you're welcomed into a cosy lounge. The room features a stone-painted fireplace with a wood burner stove, serving as a charming focal point. Exposed timber beams enhance the character of the space, while the neutral décor creates a serene atmosphere. Oak laminate flooring, which matches the internal doors, adds warmth and continuity throughout.

Blending practicality with style, the kitchen features modern amenities such as an integrated oven with a 4-ring gas hob and stainless steel extractor above, plumbing for a washing machine, and a stainless steel sink and drainer positioned by the rear window. There's also space for a freestanding American-style fridge/freezer.

Green 'Metro' tiles serve as the splashback, paired with neutral tiled flooring and walls, creating a clean, polished finish. A door leads out to the rear garden, perfect for easy outdoor access.

Ascend the staircase to the first floor, where two bedrooms await. The front-facing bedroom echoes the lounge, featuring matching mullioned windows and ceiling beams that create a light and airy feel. Fitted wardrobes along one wall offer ample storage space, while the room's focal point is a stone chimney breast with an original grate fire, adding a touch of character and charm.

Adjacent to the bedroom is a contemporary shower room, complete with a vanity bowl sink set on an oak counter with storage underneath, a toilet, and a shower enclosure with a glazed screen. Cream tiling adds a touch of warmth and elegance to the space.
