A side room which is currently used as a study is situated towards the rear and there is access to both the front and rear gardens. Access to the cellar is obtained towards the rear which leads to a decent sized space which could be used to store wine. At the end of the property is a spacious room currently used as a double office with Coalbrookdale burner.
