features as dates back to the C19. The red brick construction has stone
dressings and raised quoins, glazed pane sash windows and steps leading up to
a central round headed door. The character appeal continues on the inside
where the current owners have chosen complementing neutral decoration and
sympathetic restoration to create a very comfortable living environment.
Set back behind gated railings the front door opens into the hallway where you
gain the first taste of this impressive house, noting the high ceilings and
period features. The well - proportioned sitting room enjoys a light feel and a
central chimney housing a wood burner, the restored brick backdrop gives a
warm tone to the room. Continuing along the hallway a useful storage cupboard
is neatly tucked beneath the staircase, several steps rise up to a cloakroom
and the kitchen/diner to the rear of the property.
A brilliantly designed extension uses oak and glass to add space, light and
modern design that truly incorporates the courtyard into the kitchen/diner.

worktops. The integrated appliances include, a large gas fired hob, extractor,

planting creating a lovely environment in which to simply relax or entertain.
