An internal porch area is enclosed by the first set of doors and once inside, the entrance hallway is finished with flagstone style flooring and a convenient downstairs w/c and built in cloakroom is situated at the end. There is a doorway from the hallway leading into the large dual aspect lounge with bay window, feature fireplace with coal living flame fire and sliding doors to the rear garden.
