The Indoors -

As you step into the property, you’re welcomed directly into the main living space, a bright and versatile area with wooden floors running throughout. A large bay window at the front pours in natural light, making it ideal for a cozy sofa and TV setup. At the rear, there’s ample space for a dining table, perfect for friends and family. Floor-to-ceiling doors open to the garden, enhancing the sense of openness and light.

Just beyond this space is the kitchen, subtly separated but still visually connected. It offers generous storage, an in-built oven, and a stylish tiled splashback. With its unique layout, there's room to customize it into a more open-plan arrangement if desired, while still maintaining its current charm. Up the stairs to the first floor, you’ll find two well-sized bedrooms. The first comfortably fits a double bed and comes with fitted wardrobes, all illuminated by large windows that bring in plenty of daylight. The second bedroom also accommodates a double bed and built-in storage, similarly benefiting from thoughtful window placement and great light. On this floor also lies the main bathroom, a sleek, clean space complete with a full-sized bath and contemporary fixtures and fittings, offering a calm and stylish environment to unwind.

Proceeding up the stairs once more and you’ll reach the third and final bedroom, a truly impressive space. This top-floor retreat could easily serve as a luxurious main suite, with room for a large bed, storage units, and even a study area. A skylight ensures it remains bright and welcoming throughout the day.
