Starting off in the impressive living room you are presented with a large, bright space packed with period features. The high ceiling and large bay window in addition to traditional fireplace give this room a grand feel full of character with plenty of space for comfortable furniture. Through from the living room is the dining room. Currently used as a snug, this versatile room offers plenty of space for large dining table and chairs or perhaps comfortable seating with the large box window overlooking the private courtyard. The room has an open archway leading back to the main hallway.

From the breakfast room you also have access to a private courtyard via a UPVC door.

The spacious kitchen rounds off the ground floor accommodation and is perfect for those that like to cook up a storm for family and friends, plenty of good quality work surface is complimented by a tasteful range of matching wall and base units with space, power and plumbing for white goods. The kitchen opens out to the sun trap, low maintenance, south facing rear garden with beautifully fitted verandah providing the perfect space to sit and enjoy a glass of wine or a morning coffee in the garden whatever the weather.

The garden has a useful storage cupboard fitted with power and plumbing for washing machine and also has gated rear access.

The first floor features three great sized bedrooms and family bathroom. Due to the flexible and spacious nature of this home, this floor is currently used as a separate dwelling for a family member. What would have been bedroom one is currently used as a large living room with impressive bay window offering views out over Rock Park. This room offers plenty of space for comfortable seating, free standing furniture, table and chairs. If this were to be used again as a bedroom you would struggle to find a master bedroom offering more space than this. Next door you have bedroom two which is again a fantastic sized double room with original feature fire place and built in storage. Bedroom five sits at the front of the property and would be perfect for those younger members of the family or could make for great office space, dressing room or anything else you may need.
