Situated close to the junction of Beechwood Road on one side, it is also a few minutes' walk from the Ranelagh Road on the other..

To the left of the hall is the diningroom with original coving and a sash window overlooking Ashfield Road. More recent additions include polished wooden floors, which run throughout the downstairs, and the handsome marble fireplace with black cast-iron inset and gas coal-effect fire.

An identical fireplace is the centre-piece of the adjoining sittingroom, which has a large picture window overlooking the small rear flagged and landscaped west-facing garden.

The breakfastroom has French doors to the side patio, a ceramic tiled floor, and recessed lighting. The focal point of the room is the arched redbrick open fireplace, currently used to showcase a flower arrangement. The kitchen behind has newly installed Shaker-style units.
