The kitchen, snug and dining rooms have been cleverly designed to give a real feeling of space and light. The bespoke, well equipped kitchen leads through to the dining area with bi-fold doors opening out to the large paved terrace.

The adjoining snug overlooks the front garden. There are two double bedrooms on this floor, one with built-in storage, a family bathroom and a further shower room. Stairs lead up to the galleried landing and a double bedroom with built in wardrobes, a further double bedroom and a WC.



The delightful walled garden wraps around the rear of the property and is totally private and secluded.
