The kitchen is well equipped and boasts integrated appliances, wooden worktops and a quarry tiled floor leading to a favourable utility room and downstairs cloakroom.

French doors lead out onto the private enclosed rear garden, complete with firepit and garden furniture, lending itself to be the ideal location for alfresco dining or relaxing on an evening. An attractive staircase leads to the first floor where there are two beautifully presented bedrooms, both with king-size beds and a modern, bright family shower room.
