The Old School House, Dunkirk

3 Bedroom Semi-Detached House for sale in

The kitchen/breakfast room offers an array of painted wall and base units topped with oak work surfaces and finished with classic metro tiles. This space is further complemented by a utility/cloakroom with ample room for laundry appliances.

Upstairs, the first-floor hosts three generously proportioned double bedrooms, each rich in character with ornate fireplaces and attractive windows. The main family bathroom includes a roll-top bath, separate basin and WC.
