The Living Space

The lounge aspect is situated to the front with a gas fire holding the centre of the room, and to the rear is the dining area where glass sliding doors pour in natural light and open onto the back garden.
The kitchen sits at the front of the home and benefits from a contemporary design, underfloor heating and plinth heater, and a range of integrated appliances including dishwasher, oven, microwave, 4-plate electric hob and extractor.

In addition to the open plan lounge-diner, the property benefits from another versatile room on the ground floor looking onto the back garden, which is suitable for a variety of uses – ideal as a home office, snug, or playroom for the kids! Alternatively, the room could easily be used a fourth double bedroom.
