No 1 Whitehall Cottage lives up to its name on the inside too, with a delightful kitchen with rustic-style white-painted presses, and large living room with welcoming open fireplace. These two key rooms in the house interconnect via a quaint half-door. Floor space overall is 94sq m (1,010sq ft), while there is potential to extend - the property comes with full planning permission for a two-storey extension to the rear.

Entrance is through the reception hall with hardwood floor. Rooms at groundfloor level comprise the sitting/dining room, kitchen, lobby and refurbished bathroom with black and white tiled floor.

Upstairs are two double bedrooms with built-in wardrobes and picture windows, and a shower room with skylight.
