The property affords flexible living space, effectively two properties in one, over two floors.
The ground floor has a dining room, with large wood burning stove, a light and bright sun room/sitting room one with bi-fold doors and wood burning stove. The bespoke wooden kitchen has a double range cooker with herringbone tiled splash back, induction hob, wine fridge and aurora worktops. The snug/sitting room two, lies in the extended part of the property with bi-fold doors to the rear and a door to the front drive. Off the snug is the sitting room with bay window and eco fire, which could also be used as bedroom four. There is also a secondary kitchen and shower room.
