The kitchen is fitted with contemporary, timber cabinetry complemented by marble worktops and a comprehensive range of integrated appliances, including a dishwasher, conventional oven, induction hob and microwave. The space opens into an attractive dining area with parquet flooring.

Beyond the kitchen is a ground floor shower room and a double bedroom with smart engineered wood flooring, enjoying views over the garden and with a door opening directly onto the grounds. The sitting room is a wonderfully light, triple-aspect room, with glazed double doors opening onto the veranda. Attractive parquet flooring and an open stone fireplace provide character and a cosy focal point during the winter months.
Upstairs, there are two good-sized double bedrooms, both enjoying pleasant dual aspects. One features a charming bay window with leafy views. The bedrooms are served by a bathroom.
