Entering through the side hall, you're greeted by a spacious dining room featuring stunning exposed beams, adding a rustic touch to this cozy space. A half-glazed door leads out to a sun-drenched, enclosed courtyard garden, perfect for enjoying your morning coffee or hosting intimate gatherings.
The dining room also offers access to a charming cottage-style kitchen, complete with a range of base and wall units, wood-effect countertops, and a Rangemaster cooker with an extractor hood. The space is designed with convenience in mind, offering room for all your essential appliances, including plumbing for a washing machine.
A beautiful period door from the dining room opens into a bright and airy living room, where dual-aspect windows flood the space with natural light. The room's focal point is a brick-recessed fireplace with a cosy log burner, ideal for relaxing evenings.
Off the living room, you'll find a stunning room with a vaulted ceiling and exposed beams. This impressive space can serve as a study, snug, or additional dining room, and conveniently includes a downstairs WC.
Upstairs, the charm continues with exposed beams throughout. The master bedroom enjoys dual-aspect windows with views to both the front and rear, plus built-in wardrobes for ample storage.
