Lounge 4.60m x 3.95m (15ft 1in x 12ft 11in)
The lounge offers a warm and comfortable place to relax, decorated in a rich olive-green tone that contrasts beautifully with the dark oak flooring.

Kitchen / Diner 3.58m x 5.02m (11ft 8in x 16ft 5in)
The kitchen-diner is the social heart of the home, refurbished within the last five years and blending contemporary style with everyday practicality. Bright white walls and silver-oak luxury vinyl flooring set a modern tone, paired with matte dark-grey cabinetry and grey marble-effect worktops. A pair of Zanussi electric ovens sit at waist height, alongside an AEG induction hob with a ceiling-mounted Alika extractor. There is a black resin double sink beneath the rear window, soft under-cabinet lighting, a built-in Beko dishwasher, integrated Zanussi washer-dryer and a brand-new Navien boiler hidden within the units. Space is provided for an American-style fridge-freezer, while the worktop extends to form a breakfast bar. French doors open to the patio, ideal for family life and entertaining, and a fitted cat flap gives handy pet access.

Stairs & Landing 3.65m x 2.01m (11ft 11in x 6ft 7in)

Family Bathroom 1.69m x 1.96m (5ft 6in x 6ft 5in)
The bathroom has a calm, refined feel thanks to light sandstone wall tiles and a striking slate-grey porcelain feature wall.

The white suite includes a basin with mixer tap, low-level WC, and a full-length bath with a rainfall shower and handheld attachment above. An obscure-glass window brings daylight into the space while maintaining privacy.
