The front-facing sitting room enjoys a feature fireplace and wide bay window, alongside which is the well-proportioned drawing room, with a sunny south-facing aspect and double doors onto the rear terrace and garden. The skylit open plan kitchen and dining area provide the ideal setting for modern family living, with additional access onto the garden, a range of wall and base units arranged in a u-shape with a breakfast bar, various integrated appliances and ample space for dining and entertaining. It also has useful access into the attached garage.

The two further bedrooms are also well sized, one of which features additional eaves storage. The second floor houses the final and considerable bedroom suite, which enjoys a large walk-in wardrobe and en suite bathroom with bathtub and separate shower.
