An archway opens into the adjacent dining room and a door leads out to the garden, with practical provision for laundry appliances.

Designed for family mealtimes, the dining room enjoys an intimate atmosphere beneath a shaped ceiling. A characterful archway links this space to the kitchen, allowing conversation to flow between chefs and diners. Alcove shelving adds a decorative touch and there is ample space for a table and sideboard.

The hallway and cloakroom
Acting as the welcoming spine of the home, the hallway links the reception rooms with the ground-floor bedroom and stairs to the upper and lower levels. A balustraded staircase rises to the first floor and also descends to the kitchen. Off the hall is a useful cloakroom fitted with a WC, wash hand basin and obscured window.

The primary bedroom
The primary bedroom offers a generous retreat on the first floor, with twin windows overlooking the rear and space for a double bed and dressing furniture. Sloping ceilings add character while leaving plenty of headroom. This room enjoys a peaceful position away from the main living areas.

The second bedroom

The third bedroom
Currently arranged as a home office, the third bedroom offers a versatile space for study, hobbies or a nursery. A window overlooks the greenery outside and the compact proportions make it easy to personalise. This flexible room lies close to the family bathroom on the first floor.

The fourth bedroom
Situated on the ground floor, the fourth bedroom provides a generous double room which could also serve as a second sitting room or guest suite. A front-facing window offers outlooks towards the canal path, and an alcove adds character and storage potential. Its proximity to the cloakroom enhances everyday convenience.

The bathroom
The family bathroom features a distinctive corner bath with shower over, complemented by a vanity unit with inset basin and matching WC. Half-height tiling and a frosted window maintain privacy while adding a touch of style. Positioned off the first-floor landing for easy access.

The rear garden
Extending behind the home, the rear garden provides a pleasant outdoor haven for relaxation and al fresco dining. A paved terrace adjoins a lawned area bordered by brick walls and fences, with a gate opening directly onto the canal towpath. The garden also gives access to the garage and enjoys a sunny outlook.

The garage and driveway
Providing practical parking and storage, the single garage sits within a separate block to the rear of the property and is approached via a paved driveway with blue up-and-over door. The driveway accommodates a vehicle and the garage offers secure shelter for bikes, tools or a car, with an adjacent shed for additional storage.
