The thoughtfully designed accommodation includes a spacious open-plan kitchen and living area, three double bedrooms, including a main bedroom with an en-suite shower room, a stylish family bathroom, and a convenient ground-floor WC.

A charming wooden entrance door opens into the hallway, which provides access to both the open-plan living space and the ground-floor WC. The wood-effect flooring seamlessly flows from the hallway into the bright and airy open-plan living area. The kitchen is tastefully fitted with a range of Shaker-style wall and base units, Quartz worktops and upstands. Integrated appliances include a washing machine and dishwasher, while a freestanding Rangemaster oven with a five-ring gas hob and extractor hood adds a touch of character. At the front of the kitchen, a cosy office area benefits from a Velux window, filling the space with natural light.

The living and dining space extends across the full width of the property. A snug area at the front of the property features a wood-burning stove, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Bi-fold doors open onto a patio, blending indoor and outdoor living. Returning to the entrance hall and stairs rise to the first floor where all three bedrooms are good sized doubles. The main bedroom further benefits from a dressing area and a beautifully appointed en-suite, all set against Victorian-style square tiled flooring. The family bathroom mirrors this design, featuring the same Victorian-style square tiles and a freestanding roll-top bathtub with a mixer tap, alongside a WC and washbasin.
