Beyond the charming period frontage, the striking reception room is flooded with natural light thanks to the large bay windows and open-plan layout. A carefully considered neutral colour palette complements original features such as the timber flooring, exposed brickwork and antique-style column radiators, creating a stylish space with enduring character.

To the rear, the impressive kitchen-diner has been thoughtfully designed to combine practicality with contemporary style. It features sleek worktops, a butler sink, high-spec appliances, plentiful storage units and a central island.

The first floor offers three beautiful bedrooms, all with tasteful decor. The family bathroom has been beautifully designed and includes a separate bathtub and shower. Finally, the converted loft provides two further bedrooms, including one with an en-suite bathroom and eaves storage.
