The property also benefits white PVC double glazed replacement windows. The versatile living space comprises a PVC double glazed front porch, a central entrance hall approached via an original part panelled front entrance door, inset with elegant stained glass leaded windows, a charming lounge, a spacious dining room, a new kitchen, two double sized bedrooms, a shower room with wc, and a cloak room.
