The kitchen consists of cream, wood-effect, shaker style wall and base units with a stainless steel sink and drainer, four ring gas hob, overhead extractor fan, double oven and grill, plumbing for a dishwasher and space for a full height fridge freezer. The room is large enough to fit a table for ten people and if required by the new owner, the kitchen could easily be reconfigured to have an island style unit in the centre of the space.

The room has had the addition of built-in wardrobes behind which is the en-suite which has a walk-in shower with glass screen, W.C., hand basin. Next to bedroom one, you will find bedrooms four and five. Both bedrooms are well proportioned and would work well as offices or possibly a nursery or child's bedroom.
