The inner hall has a large walk-in store room with fitted cupboards and further double doors opening into the impressive kitchen/dining room which is most definitely the heart of the home with plenty of room for family and friends to cook, dine and socialise together whilst admiring the views across the garden towards the adjoining countryside. The kitchen is beautifully appointed with an extensive range of quality cupboards and drawers at both base and eye level whilst incorporating modern appliances enhanced by Quartz granite worktops.

The dining area is open plan and allows room for a large family dining table and chairs with the oak staircase being a central feature of the room.

The gardens are another appealing feature enjoying an excellent degree of privacy and seclusion with a composite decking area and patio allowing plenty of room to enjoy outdoor dining/entertaining in the summer months.
