No 15 has these features and more, opening up, Tardislike, into an interior that belies the modest exterior of the front door and single sash window. A formal reception room leads off the hall - in the good old days this would have been the 'posh' room with piano and potted plant. It is now styled with contemporary furniture and warm, modern colours that give a good indication of the relaxed look and feel of the rest of the house. Next to this is the first of three bedrooms.

Downstairs is the rear hallway, leading from which is the small basement wine cellar with window and exposed brick fireplace. Next is the bathroom, and then the kitchen and separate dining room. Double doors open into the delightful, garden-level sitting room which is bathed in natural light via two bay windows. This overlooks the rear garden, where the 35ft length is divided with a circular paved patio and raised lawn. At the very end is the full-width (19' 10" x 6' 8") workshop which is wired and plumbed.

Back in the house, there are two bedrooms upstairs, each with their original, castiron surround fireplaces.
