More loveliness can be found in the delightful dining room - this is a wonderful venue for ordinary mealtimes and exceptional occasions.

Here you will find everything you need to keep the household running smoothly - integrated appliances blend seamlessly with attractive cabinets and worktops with plenty of elbow room to create an ideal kitchen. As you peel spuds for a Sunday roast, you can gaze out to the garden and once the dishes are done you can grab a seat in the living room and enjoy a well-earned break. Just behind the kitchen is a guest cloakroom, a handy addition to a busy household and when you have stopped in for a quick visit, return to the conservatory for some in depth exploration. The glazed roof extends high above you and gives a lovely open feel - imagine sitting here on a sunny spring morning as you enjoy a freshly brewed coffee and savour the warmth. And how about indulging in a spot of stargazing on a clear night as you repose on the sofa and gaze upwards. From here you can get a good look at the garden but to really appreciate it, head on outdoors for a stroll round. Immaculately presented and immensely appealing, this is a garden to be enjoyed all day long. As you step from the conservatory the generously sized patio is just the spot to position your garden furniture so you can really maximise time out here. The lawn adds a nice hint of greenery and is complemented by planted borders to really enhance the tranquil feel. Friends will love to be invited over for a BBQ as you enjoy a fun evening together and when you have an hour to spare, you can grab a seat and switch off for a while. After spending some time in the garden, venture back indoors and make a beeline upstairs to have a look at the rest of the interior. As you arrive at the top of the stairs, look at the bathroom which is to your left. Here you can treat yourself to luxurious soak as you hop in the tub and enjoy some much needed me time. Along the landing is the first of the bedrooms - this is cosy and comfortable with room to happily snooze the night away. At the end of the landing you will find a further two bedrooms. To your left is suburb room that is just perfect for snuggling up in at the end of the day. The third bedroom overlooks the garden and is a smashing size making it a good spot to start the day. And when you scamper out of bed, you can skip the queue for the bathroom and saunter into the snazzy ensuite shower room to freshen up before bounding down the stairs to get started on breakfast.
