A second floor has an attic room with several built in storage cupboards.
The house appears to be in good condition and is very tastefully decorated throughout with many of the features one would hope to find in a property of this age and character including fireplaces, high corniced ceilings and bay windows. The open plan kitchen/dining room; the sitting room and dining room are particularly appealing rooms.
