Both rooms have fireplaces with a dual wood burner. At the back of house is the stunning kitchen dining room, part vaulted with light lantern. The kitchen has blue fitted units and Quartz worktops with a large island. French doors allow for outdoor access and it offers wonderful garden views. A door then takes you through to the utility room with separate cloakroom. Upstairs has been newly carpeted and there are 3 bedrooms, 2 doubles and 1 single, plus a shower room.
