Beautifully presented throughout, the property boasts a versatile and spacious ground floor. At its heart are two distinct reception rooms, each offering its own unique appeal. The characterful lounge is rich in charm and period features, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere, while the second, more contemporary reception room provides a bright and stylish living space with direct access to the side garden, ideal for both everyday family life and entertaining guests. The remainder of the ground floor comprises a modern, fully fitted kitchen with access to the rear garden, a contemporary utility area offering additional practicality, and a well-appointed family bathroom.
