This bright, airy space features a stylish wallpapered chimney breast, soft carpet underfoot, and bi-folding doors that open directly onto the rear garden, flooding the room with natural light and creating an effortless indoor-outdoor connection.

Just off the lounge, a small inner lobby leads into the kitchen, a real highlight of the home.

A full suite of integrated appliances includes twin ovens, a 5-ring induction hob with extractor, microwave, dishwasher, fridge, and freezer.

Whether you're preparing everyday meals or entertaining guests, this kitchen delivers on both practicality and presentation.

The dining room enjoys a peaceful garden outlook and offers excellent flexibility, ideal as a formal dining area, secondary reception space, snug, home office, or fourth bedroom, depending on your lifestyle.

Toward the front of the home, you’ll find two ground-floor bedrooms. One is a generous double with plenty of natural light, while the other is a more compact but versatile space, perfect as a nursery, study, or child’s bedroom, complete with built-in storage. Both rooms are finished with soft carpeting.

Completing the ground floor is a beautifully appointed shower room.
