A well-proportioned reception space with a distinctive part-curved bay window to the front elevation, reflecting the property's 1930s origins. A central fireplace, currently blocked and clad in timber boarding, offers scope for reinstatement or reconfiguration. This room offers excellent scope for cosmetic improvement to suit a purchaser’s individual preferences. A wide opening connects directly to the adjoining dining room.

Positioned to the rear right-hand side of the property, the dining room is a generous area with ample room for a family-sized dining table and chairs. The original fireplace has been infilled with timber shelving but could be reinstated if desired. A serving hatch to the kitchen remains, though it is currently blocked. Double-glazed sliding doors open into the conservatory, introducing natural light and providing a direct link to the rear garden.
