The Living Space - The home welcomes you into a central hallway connecting the downstairs living space in a traditional layout.

In the lounge an exposed brick chimney breast with gas powered, log-burner-style stove adds character to the otherwise contemporary style, and the lounge gives the first glimpse of the excellent condition throughout.

To the rear, the open plan kitchen and dining area benefits from electric underfloor heating with a wood effect tiled floor, and continues the bright and airy feel, with an orangery style aspect for which the current owners use as the dining area.
