In addition, there is space and plumbing for a dishwasher, together with a rather useful pantry cupboard. Off the kitchen is a further porch with access to the front that doubles as a UTILITY AREA with a utility cupboard having plumbing / space for a washing machine.

The INNER HALL with an under-stair cupboard provides storage, here the well configured accommodation leads to the ground floor bedrooms and the bathroom.

Adjacent to the path leading to the front door is a raised paved area, and a seating area, leading to an area of lawn again with well stocked borders that add interest.
