As you walk through the front door into the light and bright, spacious entrance hall, you will see the property layout has been thoughtfully designed, with a highly-practical walk-in cloaks cupboard with plenty of storage and an additional understairs cupboard. The cloakroom is also off the hallway and leads through into a hidden utility room where you will find the gas boiler and space for a washing machine and tumble dryer. Across the hall into the spacious sitting room and this lovely room has a woodburner for cosy winter evenings and doors to the beautifully sunny front garden, with plantation shutters fitted for shade when required. Double doors lead through into the L-shaped kitchen/dining room where there is plenty of space for a large dining table and relaxed seating with doors onto the decked terrace.
