The property is available with no onward chain and would be ideally suited to a variety of purchasers.

Returning to the kitchen, the impressive original stone staircase rises to the first floor landing. The master bedroom faces the front elevation, and is a well proportioned double featuring stripped, original wooden flooring.
The second bedroom is a further double facing the rear and benefits from a cast iron feature fireplace, as well as two useful built-in storage cupboards.
