French doors open directly to the outside, while double doors connect through to the adjoining living and dining room.

The living and dining room enjoys an abundance of natural light from a southerly aspect, with glazed doors opening onto a paved seating area and elevated lawn. This flexible space is ideal for entertaining and family living and also benefits from useful under stairs storage.

An inner hall leads through to the kitchen, which is fitted with a comprehensive range of high quality base and wall units with granite work surfaces and concealed lighting. Integrated appliances include an oven, grill, induction hob, fridge, freezer and dishwasher.

To the first floor, the landing features exposed beams, stonework and a roof window, adding further character and natural light.
