The dining/family/playroom has a large window and a period fireplace with a marble hearth and with a wooden surround and, again, the radiator has a latticed fretwork cover. This room could be used for formal dining or family relaxation according to needs.

There is a recessed bookcase which was previously the door to the living room and could be opened up again if preferred. The study has quarry tiles on the floor, half height panelling all around and the door ahead would have been the original front door. There is a window to the side overlooking the garden which is a lovely outlook. To the left is the door to the cloakroom and here there is a champagne coloured wash hand basin with tiled splashback together with a small original cottage window which is a lovely feature. Stepping down, the WC is at a slightly lower level and has half height tiling all around and a frosted window behind.

The overall plot is one third of an acre (tbv) with a long driveway to the side of the property with ample space for parking.
