A cosy wood-burning stove warms the adjacent family room, while the generous utility/boot room provides a practical side entrance. A thoughtfully designed and integrated extension, added in 1992, offers a versatile annexe, complete with a ground floor shower room, sauna (unused by the current owners), cloakroom, and TV room/snug. A secondary staircase leads to a guest bedroom featuring fitted wardrobe and a separate well-appointed bathroom. Underfloor heating extends through the kitchen, family room, and annexe.
