The fitted kitchen offers a comprehensive range of units and appliances, with a practical side-door leading out to the driveway, garage and garden. A family bathroom, complemented by a separate WC, serves the ground floor, meeting everyday needs with convenience and style.

This upper level offers excellent privacy for visitors, older children, or use as a hobby room or study. Outdoors, the property excels with a mature, level rear garden bordered by established shrubs and flower beds. The patio area is perfect for summer gatherings or quiet relaxation, and the unobstructed green backdrop over Coulsdon Court Golf Course gives a sense of space and freedom rarely found in suburban homes. The driveway allows for several vehicles, and the detached garage is fitted with an electric roller door for security and ease.
