The original 1930s front door, with its charming twist doorbell, leads into a light and welcoming hallway with beautiful oak flooring and an understairs cloakroom.

The generous ceiling height in the property provides a feeling of spaciousness, whilst the original wooden panelled doors add to the charm and character of the property.
