The original construction year of the property is listed as 1930, though it is important to note that the house was virtually completely rebuilt during the period 2001 to 2003.

The total volume of the building measures 599 cubic metres.

Entering the property, you are welcomed into the entrance hall which houses the meter cupboard and provides access to the staircase leading to the upper floor.

The living room is positioned at the front of the house and benefits from plenty of natural light. The room features en-suite doors that are characteristic of the property, specifically stained glass sliding doors that create an elegant connection to the adjoining dining room and kitchen area. The living room has underfloor heating installed, and there is a flue present for those who may wish to install a wood burning stove.

The kitchen and dining area is particularly generous in size, measuring approximately 29 square metres. The country style U-shaped kitchen was installed in 2017 and comes equipped with an extractor hood, refrigerator, and dishwasher. A gas stove with oven is available for takeover by the new owners. This layout provides a comfortable space for both cooking and dining, with the character of the stained glass doors adding to the atmosphere.

The ground floor also includes a separate laundry room where the central heating system is located. The heating and hot water are provided by a hybrid heat pump system from Daikin combined with an Intergas gas fired combi boiler (CW5), both installed in 2023 and owned outright. This modern system contributes to the excellent energy rating of the property.

A spacious bathroom of approximately 11 square metres is situated on the ground floor. This room is well appointed with a shower, a corner bath featuring a whirlpool function, a double sink with vanity unit, and a toilet. The bathroom also benefits from underfloor heating.

At the rear of the property, there are two additional bedrooms measuring approximately 11 square metres and 9 square metres respectively, both with skylights. The larger rear bedroom also includes a built-in wardrobe. Within one of the built-in cupboards, there are preparations in place that would allow for the creation of an additional toilet room on this floor should the new owners wish to do so.

Above the first floor, the attic can be reached via a pull-down ladder. This storage attic measures approximately 21 square metres and provides useful additional space for storing belongings.
