To the right of the hall way there is the dining room (25m2) with a well appointed kitchen (11m2) including stove. The boiler room housing the new central heating system is off the kitchen and the house is connected to mains drainage. The dining room gives entry to the self contained annex with its laundry room, lounge bedroom with ensuite, this also has its own external door.

All rooms are generously sized. Stairs from the hall ascend to the landing with access to four bedrooms (main bedroom with fireplace 20m2, one sized 20m2 with view to rear courtyard, and two bedrooms each 16m2) and a bathroom with separate shower and bath plus a WC.
