The kitchen is fitted with a butler sink under a window and wooden worktops. There is a gas hob and electric inbuilt oven plus a freestanding fridge freezer. A butcher’s block island provides extra workspace and creates a subtle separation between the kitchen and the dining area. There is ample space for the dining table and other furniture plus an original fireplace with a wood burning stove for additional heat and ambiance.
Upstairs there are 2 spacious double bedrooms with en suite bathrooms. The guest bedroom has a walk in shower cubicle and the master bedroom has a mini soaking tub with over head shower.

The garden has a paved, covered area for dining and a lawned area with well-maintained planted borders. At the end of the lawn there are steps to the left that lead down to a second terrace with views out onto the hills on the other side of the river.
There are terracotta floor tiles throughout the house and wood beamed ceilings and stone details adding charm and authenticity to this lovely home.
