Porch / Entrance

A charming front porch sets the tone on arrival, adding both character and practicality. Ideal for coats, shoes and day-to-day use, this space could be enhanced into a welcoming entrance with built-in storage or a more refined finish to create a strong first impression.

Kitchen

A functional kitchen with good proportions and scope for transformation. Buyers may look to modernise with contemporary units and finishes, or potentially reconfigure to create a more open-plan kitchen/dining arrangement - a highly desirable feature for modern living.

A spacious double bedroom with good natural light and ample room for furniture. With some cosmetic improvements, this could become a calming and well-finished primary bedroom.

Bedroom Two

Another comfortable double bedroom offering flexibility - ideal as a guest room, home office, or second bedroom. Again, this space provides a blank canvas for buyers to personalise.

Tiered Rear Garden

The rear garden is arranged over multiple levels, creating a unique and characterful outdoor space. While currently in a more natural state, it offers huge potential for landscaping -whether that’s creating defined seating areas, terraces, or a beautifully structured garden to complement the home.
