Four sash windows, with deep cills, look out to the communal part of the gardens and allow plenty of natural light. The room naturally divides to offer a sitting area, with space for comfortable seating, and a dining area with space for a table to seat eight. The kitchen, with a window to the side, has a range of units with cream country style door and topped with composite stone worktops. Within the kitchen is an Vaillant combi-boiler, undermounted sink, gas hob, built-in washing machine and space for both an under counter fridge and freezer. The current owner uses a freestanding table top combination oven but an electric oven could easily be installed if required.
At the far end of the hall are two good size double bedrooms both with built-in wardrobes. The larger of the two benefits from two windows to the front and the other has a window to the rear.
