As is traditional with village houses, the front door leads directly into the sitting room. The sitting room and adjacent dining room have been refitted with honey-toned, engineered oak flooring that leads the eye through the house towards the garden. An opening leads through into the dining room which has a feature limestone fireplace and surround containing a recently-installed log burner.
A further opening leads into the kitchen, which is fitted with a bespoke, solid wood, in-frame kitchen painted in a calm shade of cream. Built to make the most of every inch of space, some of the doors conceal clever touches such as a pull out ironing board. Careful planning has made the most of the space under the stairs. The work-surfaces are solid wood, whilst the splash-backs are thought to be traditional, wood-fired, ceramic tiles. The present owners have replaced the appliances including an induction hob, the fan oven, washing machine and dishwasher. The boiler has also been replaced with a new, energy efficient one. French doors from the kitchen lead out to the garden.
Stairs rising from the kitchen lead to the first floor which has two bedroom; a double overlooking the front, and a double aspect, single be bedroom overlooking the garden. There is a bathroom, which is fitted with a white suite comprising of bath (with shower over), and vanity basin and W.C. There is also a separate W.C.
A further flight of stairs lead up to the attic bedroom which runs front-to-back across the house. Ther is a useful wash basin and pair of French doors with a Juliet balcony overlooking the garden. There is ample eaves storage and access to a small loft with loft ladder.
The intriguing garden is accessed from the kitchen. In common with most terraced houses there is access solely for number 38 across adjoining garden with a gate to the right. The garden has various "rooms" linked with a path leading, initially, to a timber pergola covered in a beautiful, mature wisteria which is laden with fragrant, lilac racemes in the spring. The path meanders between mature shrubs and plants towards a pond and from there, past a greenhouse, to a large garden area with a shed and fruit cages. This area of garden offers plenty of scope for a keen gardener to create their own vision.
