Moving through the property, there is a further reception room positioned centrally, providing a comfortable living space which connects seamlessly into the dining area. The dining space is open-plan to the kitchen, creating a sociable layout ideal for both everyday living and entertaining, with French doors opening out onto the rear garden.
The kitchen itself is fitted with a range of units and integrated appliances, offering both practicality and style while benefiting from a pleasant outlook over the rear garden.
To the first floor, there are three well-proportioned bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with the added benefit of an en-suite shower room. The remaining bedrooms are served by a modern family bathroom, finished with contemporary fittings.
