The generous and elegant sitting room is fitted with a cast iron fireplace, ceiling plasterwork and wooden sash windows, whilst alongside, a useful extra reception room can be used as a dining room or space for hobbies.
Further down the hall, a most useful utility room has been added by the owners, with a sink unit, plumbing for washing machine, cloakroom and door to the side.

At the back of the house, the lovely kitchen/dining room has been remodelled to create a wonderful communal space. It comprises a selection of free-standing painted wood Habitat units and island. A 6-ring range-cooker and dishwasher are included. There is also slate flooring, recessed spotlights and a cosy gas-fired, coal-effect stove. There is also a rear splayed bay of double-glazed sash windows and French doors to the garden, with incredible views of the Royal Crescent.

Lower Ground Floor: from the hallway, steps lead down to a most useful cellar comprising a small, tanked and painted storeroom and larger dry-lined workshop area with power and light, workbench, window and built-in dehumidifier.
First Floor: Upstairs, the long landing leads to 3 double bedrooms, bathroom and shower room.
