The kitchen is in reasonable condition and could be further opened-up to provide a lovely open-plan space. From the kitchen, there is an additional hallway which has boasts a shower room. This hallway also allows access for a spacious 1-bedroom annexe which briefly comprises of a large open living space with kitchen, a double bedroom as well as a good sized shower room.
Upstairs in the main property, there are 4 bedrooms. 2 of these are large doubles along with a smaller double and a further smaller bedroom which could also make a fantastic office space.
