The kitchen is large and well-equipped with modern units providing ample cupboard space, an electric 2-oven cooker with ceramic hob and single-drainer sink. There is also a utility room, again with plenty of cupboards, a sink unit and plumbing and space for a dishwasher and washer/dryer. Beyond this is a WC with basin.
The original staircase rises to the first and second floors from the living room. On the first floor are two large double bedrooms, one with an en-suite shower room, and a family bathroom.
