Ground Floor:

Grand Entrance Hall

An attractive open-sided porch, constructed with a combination of brickwork and timber, provides a welcoming approach to the original oak ledged and braced entrance door. Opening into a magnificent reception hallway, the sense of space and character is immediately apparent. Tiled flooring, generous proportions and an impressive staircase rising to the upper floors create an elegant introduction to the accommodation.

Positioned to the right of the hallway, the kitchen is a particularly appealing space, combining traditional character with excellent everyday functionality, complemented by an impressive central island, extensive wall and base cabinetry and a traditional Belfast sink with boiling water tap.

A picture window above the sink enjoys views across the front gardens, whilst integrated appliances include a dishwasher. Air conditioning and electric underfloor heating further enhance the comfort of this beautifully appointed space.

Leading from the kitchen, a connecting rear hallway provides access to the outside, a convenient downstairs cloakroom and an excellent range of built-in storage, including bespoke hat and coat racks and cupboards.

Additional cabinetry includes separate cupboards for laundry and a pantry-style cupboard for clean washing, whilst a further door leads to the separate store and plant room.
