The high spec. kitchen has granite work surfaces and comes with a range of integrated appliances and also gives access to the garden through another stable door. There are two staircases to the first floor one from the kitchen/family room and one from the lounge. On the first floor there are three double bedrooms and a family bathroom. The spacious master bedroom has an en-suite shower and access to a TV room/snug or even spare bedroom on the second floor via a spiral staircase.
