The kitchen/breakfast room features bespoke Italian gloss cabinetry, granite worktops, integrated appliances and a breakfast bar, together with the additional comfort of underfloor heating. There is ample space for informal dining, with direct access to the rear garden. Bi-fold doors connect the kitchen to an adjoining snug/TV area, which overlooks the garden and benefits from air conditioning, providing a comfortable and versatile additional living space.

A guest cloakroom and integral garage provide further practicality.

The first floor offers four bedrooms, including the principal bedroom, which benefits from an en-suite shower room and air conditioning. Two of the further bedrooms feature fitted wardrobes, while the fourth is currently arranged as a study, offering flexibility for those working from home or requiring additional bedroom accommodation. A family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms.

One of the property's particular attractions is its substantial, mature rear garden, extending to approximately 86 ft.
