A bathroom and separate WC complete the rooms on the ground floor and there is a door leading out to the side of the house and on to the rear garden.
Stairs from the entrance hall lead up to the first floor landing. On this floor you will find two generous double bedrooms as well as an additional kitchen and bathroom as well as a separate WC.
