From the street, up two steps to enter through the solid wood front door into

the main reception room:
Four large windows help to create a light and airy feel, whilst a dado rail, panelling and the proportions of the room add a certain elegance. Plenty of electrical sockets, TV point, and generous dimensions make this a true family space with room for a living and a dining area. The floor is tiled and the underfloor heating adds a level of modern comfort. The wooden posts separating this main living space from an additional area beyond are purely decorative and could be removed to create an even bigger dining space.
Beyond these posts is a sliding glass door giving

access to the kitchen/diner:
Enter into a space large enough for a breakfast table, with a glazed wall at one end giving access directly to the street. At the other end is a recently-fitted kitchen with stone worktops and a broad island. Well laid-out and extremely practical.

Returning through the sliding glass door, to the right is a WC with small wash hand basin. Ancient wooden stairs with half-timbered walls lead up to

the first floor:
Solid wood flooring for the generous landing.
On the right, two large double bedrooms each with decorative fireplace/chimney breast featuring delicate plasterwork. Two windows to the front of the house. Wooden floors.
On the left, shallow step down to a second reception room. Ideal as a TV lounge/snug/office/library. Wooden floor.
A small corridor gives access to:
Utility room with space for storage, washing machine and dryer, tile floor
WC with basin, tile floor
Storage cupboard
Bathroom with bathtub and to wash hand basins, heated towel rail, tile floor

Stairs continue up to the second floor:

Spacious double bedroom under the eaves. Two large windows to the front of the house protected by decorative metal railings. Ladder-style stairs to a mezzanine area currently used as storage but with other possibilities.
A fourth large double bedroom under the eaves with two similar windows and a built-in solid wood wardrobe and small desk.
Across the broad wooden-floored landing to descend two steps into a
tile-floored studio space. This type of space under the roof is common in the area. Known as a solelhou, these spaces were once used for drying produce and goods and are now great places to catch the sun indoors. Filled with light from both ends and furnished with a large sink, this one is currently used as an artist's studio and gym but has potential for many uses, not least as a handy place for drying laundry in the sun.
