An open, tiled hallway has a staircase with ornate spindle balustrade.Spacious rooms with high ceilings display features such as original Victorian quartz tiles and Victorian fireplaces.

The bay-fronted lounge has a decorative ceiling rose, and a marble and Cornish slate fireplace with a gas fire.

There's a formal dining room, again with a ceiling rose and a marble fireplace, but this time containing an electric fire.

The kitchen and diner has a full range of units with wooden worktops, along with a useful pantry, and access down to cellars with Yorkshire stone flag flooring.

Five bedrooms are split between two upper floors, the first floor having the large principal bedroom with its marble fireplace, and farreachin­g views.
