Designed with both style and functionality in mind, this room is beautifully appointed with soft grey shaker-style cabinetry that runs along two walls, offering generous storage in both cupboards and deep drawers. The oak worktops contrast perfectly with the subtle tones of the cabinetry, while the stylish ceramic Belfast sink beneath the large front-facing window brings in natural light and frames a charming village view.

A paved patio area sits directly outside the doors, framed by potted plants and brick steps that lead down to the lawn. From here, a gravel path winds through the garden, drawing you towards a more secluded area with space for outdoor dining, a barbecue, and even a hot tub.

The garden is fully enclosed with pale sage fencing, creating a sense of privacy and security while still feeling open. Well-established borders brim with flowering plants and greenery, bringing colour to the space year-round. Dedicated seating area provides a peaceful spot to sit and enjoy the surroundings.

At the rear of the garden, a secure gate leads directly to a single carport, providing covered parking. This convenient access ensures easy loading and unloading. Set beneath a pitched tiled roof with characterful brickwork, the carport blends seamlessly with the surrounding architecture.

Back inside and upstairs, the first floor offers three well-proportioned bedrooms, each filled with natural light.
