To the left of the hall a doorway opens into the sitting room (25m2) with tiled floor and attractive exposed stone walls. From the sitting room an opening leads through to a light-and-airy second reception room (23m2 - currently with both sitting and dining area) with tiled floor and a glazed door that opens to a terrace which in turn leads on to the garden.
To the far side of this reception room there is access to a second entrance hall with glazed door to the garden. Off this hall is the utility / laundry room (11m2) which also houses the central heating boiler.
