A vaulted ceiling with three Velux-style windows floods the room with natural light, while an exposed brick wall and breakfast bar add character. The kitchen is arranged in a horseshoe layout with a Belfast sink, built-in oven and hob, base and eye-level units and wooden worktops. Glazed bi-fold doors open onto the garden. A cloakroom/utility with space for stacked appliances completes the ground floor.

The principal bedroom is a generous double with exposed wide-plank wooden flooring and a double-glazed sash window, while the second bedroom enjoys garden views. The bathroom includes a free-standing bath, separate shower, half tongue-and-groove walling and a heated towel rail. The second floor provides a third well-proportioned bedroom with two Velux-style windows and a smart en suite shower room.
