Vital statistics - floor plans

I thought I should do a post about the basic statistics and floor plan of the house.

It was originally on the market for £185,000 over a year before I bought it. It had a buyer, however it fell through as the mortgage couldn't be arranged. It then went to auction but didn't make the asking price. Amazing only by a really small amount, however the vendor wasn't happy to sell. I suspect by the time I came along everyone had given up on the place, so my offer was accepted - £30,000 less. I didn't push my luck by asking them to clear it, he wanted a quick easy sale, I wanted a quick easy buy.  So the following is the description and floor plan as it was in the advert when it was on the market. As you will see, true to most older houses the rooms are a good size in comparison to the boxes they build nowadays.
