A stained-glass hall door opens into a bright hall off which are two reception rooms: the livingrroom has a box bay window and like the diningroom, good perriod details such as a marble fireplace, centre rose and coving. The kitchen/breakfastroom is a smart modern space with a white marble countertop; there’s also a laundry room. French doors open into the 45ft long back garden. It has a shed at the rear, with pedestrian access.

Upstairs there are three bedrooms, and an attic room. The main bedroom runs the width of the house and, like most of the bedrooms, has a painted timber floor and a cast-iron fireplace. There’s a bedroom in the attic, with a small landing study.
