Doors from the lounge lead into the rear hallway which has the stairs rising to the first floor, a downstairs cloakroom, storage cupboard and a rear lobby/boot room, where the boiler is to be found and access to the rear garden. There is a separate dining room and a separate kitchen with eye and base level units, cooker and inset sink.
On the first floor are the four double bedrooms and the family bathroom. On the landing is the airing cupboard which houses the water tank.
