Description

From here there are views of the rear garden and access out on to a paved terrace through French doors. There is also access to the left hand side of the kitchen. A cloakroom completes the ground floor accommodation.

A wide well lit staircase with a large picture window leads upstairs to four principle bedrooms. There is a family bathroom with large walk-in shower and twin sinks by Armitage Shanks. A further storage room at the end of the landing could also be used as a bedroom.
