The cinema room features an impressive projector screen and has a spectacular bay window allowing ample daylight to flow into the room. The ground floor cloakroom has a handy shower, wc and the original sink unit from when the house was built. A third reception room is currently being used as a sewing studio but would also make an excellent playroom or home office.

Built in appliances include two Siemens ovens (one with an integrated microwave), dishwasher; a five burner gas hob is set into the island and an extractor is flush to the ceiling as to not obstruct the eye line out of the double doors on to the rear garden. There is also space for an American fridge freezer. A Quooker instant hot water tap sits on the ceramic sink underneath the picture window.

The dining area has the same reclaimed flooring and a beautiful fireplace sits in an alcove to one end of the room whilst the opposite end leads through to a handy utility room complete with matching kitchen units and a sink, washing machine and dryer.
