The walls are finished in a neutral décor. A straight flight of timber stairs, newly carpeted and with turned balustrades, rises to the first-floor accommodation.

A generously proportioned, dual-aspect reception arranged as a sitting area to the front and dining area to the rear. The sitting area enjoys a large segmental bay window to the front elevation, bringing in excellent natural light. Finishes include neutral painted walls with a profiled picture rail, domed wall-mounted uplighters and exposed stained pine floorboards. An attractive period-style fireplace forms a focal point, with decorative insert, tiled hearth and traditional pine surround. Please note: the fireplace is decorative only and is not for tenant use.
An open connection leads through to the dining area, which continues the exposed pine floorboards and neutral décor with matching picture rail and uplighters. There is ample space for a full-size dining table and additional furniture. French doors with overlight open directly onto the rear garden, further enhancing the light and providing convenient outdoor access.

Situated to the rear of the house, this spacious kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with a good range of Shaker-style, timber-effect wall and base units with contrasting work surfaces. A 1½ bowl stainless-steel sink with mixer tap and drainer is positioned beneath a side-facing casement window. Integrated appliances include a four-burner gas hob with electric oven below.
A fridge/freezer and dishwasher are included within the let; however, these are to remain the tenant’s responsibility during the tenancy. Splashbacks are finished in ceramic tiling, with the remaining walls in a bright painted finish. Recessed ceiling spotlights provide task lighting. Within the breakfast area, a full-height double-glazed door with glazed side panels opens directly onto the rear garden, bringing in good natural light and providing convenient outdoor access.
A part-glazed pine door leads to the utility room, and mechanical extract ventilation is installed.
Utility Room
A practical ancillary space with work surface, geometric vinyl flooring and a rear-facing window overlooking the garden, providing natural light. The walls are finished in a neutral décor.
