The room benefits from blackout blinds and mood lighting, creating the ideal ambiance for movie or sports nights.

For those who work from home, the property offers multiple options. A generously sized home office on the ground floor could easily be converted into a fourth bedroom if needed, allowing the mezzanine above to serve as a home office or study space.

The primary bedroom is exceptionally spacious and includes fitted blackout blinds, a walk-in wardrobe, and a spacious en-suite bathroom with a freestanding double-ended contemporary bath and a separate shower cubicle featuring a Mira Platinum digital dual shower.

The second bedroom features a square bay window with corner glass detailing, maintaining the property's clean lines throughout.

The ground floor also houses a separate shower room with an en-suite feature (ideal for use by the study room if a fourth bedroom is required). This additional shower room is elegantly tiled with quality Porcelanosa tiles throughout, featuring a wet room floor system that makes it ideal for easy maintenance. Adjacent to this, there is a spacious utility room with ample space for white goods and extensive built-in storage.
