Images from both inside and outside of the property show that the home is in need of renovation. The entrance is at the side of the house, the front door opens into a porch area and an L-shape hallway.
Setting out the tone for the rest of the property, the hallway is in need of new furnishings. The ground floor features a front living room with bay windows, a second sitting room, a kitchen and dining room. These areas could be knocked through, to create an open plan kitchen/diner.
The staircase rises to the first-floor bedrooms and contains great storage underneath. On the top two floors are six of the bedrooms.
However bedroom four is currently set out as a kitchenette but would make a single room. The rooms on the top floor make use of a Velux skylight to the landing.
The property needs a scheme of renovation and would benefit from some restructuring downstairs to really maximize space. The rear garden currently contains outbuildings and is paved with borders.
