The kitchen/dining area is flooded with natural light from triple-aspect windows and French doors that open to the rear garden. It features a single bowl sink set into black granite countertops, modern cabinetry, a freestanding range-style oven, space for an American fridge/freezer, and plumbing for a dishwasher.

The study, with its front-facing window and solid oak flooring, offers a quiet retreat for work or reading. Completing the ground floor is a cloakroom with a WC and wash basin.

The three additional bedrooms are all generously sized. The family bathroom features a contemporary white suite, including a WC, wash basin, bathtub, and shower cubicle.

Outside, the front driveway offers ample parking and leads to the single garage.
