The lounge is a particularly inviting reception room, featuring decorative coving and a beautiful bay window complete with a fitted window seat and concealed storage beneath. Shutter blinds provide privacy while complementing the character of the room, with a wallpapered feature wall and gas fire adding further warmth and personality.

To the rear of the property is the impressive open-plan kitchen and dining space, created as part of a recent extension and providing a wonderful setting for both everyday family life and entertaining. The kitchen is fitted with beautiful pale blue shaker-style wall and base units, complemented by butcher-block work surfaces and a traditional Belfast sink. The generous open-plan layout provides ample space for dining and seating, creating a sociable heart to the home with direct access to the garden, with bi-folding doors enhancing the space.

A separate utility and boot room provides practical space and features traditional stone-tiled flooring, bespoke shelving with integrated coat hooks and a butcher-block work surface, together with space beneath for appliances. There is also a handy understairs storage cupboard, complete with its own window.

The first floor is approached via a newly fitted staircase, leading to a spacious landing with beautiful oak doors, laminate flooring and a new spindle balustrade. A large window with shutter blinds allows natural light into the landing. There is access to the loft, which is fully boarded and accessed via a hatch with drop-down ladders.
