Sitting Room: A superb principal reception room with ample natural light and direct access to the garden through wide bi-folding doors. A wood-burning stove with oak mantel provides a central focal point, complemented by soft neutral décor and plush carpeting. An open archway leads into the snug.

At its centre sits a fully fitted bespoke Burbidge kitchen, arranged around a large central island.

Storage has been thoughtfully designed, with twin sets of pan drawers flanking a Stoves 7-ring gas range cooker, complete with granite splashback and an overhead hood.
