This sits open plan to the dining room which offers sliding doors out to the patio. The kitchen/diner is fitted with an array of Shaker-style base units and plenty of room for a breakfast table.

Outside is where the home really comes to life. The property is reached via a long, gravelled driveway providing parking for multiple vehicles in front of a detached double garage and a carport. Side access leads through to a small patio garden with stunning views behind. This in turn opens to a much larger and completely private lawned garden which runs behind the neighbouring houses and features a small orchard at one end.
