The large kitchen extension to the rear of the property enjoys a very light and bright aspect and enjoys lovely views into the sub tropical planted rear garden. The modern contemporary kitchen is finished perfectly with a natural polished stone worktop and the opposite end of the extension has a seating area around a free standing wood burning stove making this a great space for entertaining all year round.

The front garden has been planted with various mature shrubs, bushes and vegetables making it a very productive space. The property also benefits from a double width driveway leading to a double garage.
