Opening the front door of this white stucco terraced house, you look straight up the stairs - carpeted in dark blue with pale green walls - to a conservatory/study: a green oasis with windows on all three sides.
But don't go up the stairs yet ! Turn right on the ground floor and you're into the yellow-and-blue bespoke kitchen/dining room with hand painted French tiles, working window shutters, fridge, freezer, gas hob, electric oven, microwave, high-chair. . . and sun-trap terrace beyond.
Down to the half-landing there's a charming back bedroom with fold-down bed (hidden in a cupboard!) and its own WC/wash area.
Now go on down to the lower ground floor, where there's a good laundry area (2 x washing machines, dryer, airers, 2 x irons and ironing boards, a patio garden, a double bedroom (with a hugely comfortable Queen bed), shower room and adjoining sitting room with a fold-out sofa bed, Sky TV and kitchenette off.
Now go upstairs again and, passing the kitchen/dining room, go on up to the first floor, past the conservatory/study (where the Broadband unit is - and it's wireless, too) and past the Dolls House. Now you find another double bedrrom (with twin beds) and ornate ceilings, as well as a sitting room with working floor-to-ceiling windows leading to an ornate wrought-iron balcony. Therre's a working fireplace, working shutters, Sky TV, cozy sofas and chairs. .
Now head up to the next half landing: a good shower room (the shower is GREAT!). Up again: two more double bedrooms (one twin, one Queen, 2 cots, baby-alarm, another TV/DVD) and another bathroom. Oh, and a top landng too - where children love to play . . .
The house is warm in winter (Central Heating, of course) and cool in summer (with fans for the few very hot summer nights). There are two hairdryers and many other bits and pieces to make your stay truly homely and comfortable. Towels and really good linen and bedspreads provided and included in the price.
