The room offers plenty of space for furniture and enjoys a striking fireplace nestling a multi-fuel stove, an Edinburgh press, classic cornicing, and a ceiling rose. Across the hall, a flexible room (with a WC) awaits that can be utilised in a number of ways to suit the new owner, including as a dining room, a children’s playroom, or a third bedroom, and it features a beautiful fireplace. It also boasts the same sunny aspect and open views as the living room.
