Description

Stepping through a private entrance porch with charming red quarry tiles, you are welcomed by a glazed panelled door that opens into a hallway. From here, there is convenient access to a shower room as well as stairs leading down to the spacious basement. The entrance hall extends into an inner hall featuring an impressive Cathedral ceiling, creating a sense of grandeur. The inner hall could provide ample space for a dining table or additional seating area. Doors from the inner hall provide access to the living room, kitchen, and master bedroom, ensuring a practical and elegant flow throughout the home.

The living room is a bright and generously proportioned space that enjoys lovely views over the communal gardens. Adding to its charm, the room features exposed beams on the ceiling and a characterful stone fireplace, which houses an electric fire, creating a cosy and inviting atmosphere. Down the hall, the galley-style kitchen features a range of storage cupboards complemented by a worktop with a matching breakfast bar. The worktop incorporates a one-and-a-half sink drainer with a mixer tap and a four-ring electric hob. Integrated within the units is an electric double oven/grill, with ample space for an upright fridge freezer. A glazed door opens onto a sheltered porch with outside power socket. This entrance provides level access to the property, ideal for a wheelchair user. An internal door also connects the kitchen to the second bedroom, which is a generous sized double room complemented with fitted wardrobes and overhead storage. 

The master bedroom is a spacious double room, boasting a charming cross-beamed ceiling and two recessed alcoves, perfect for accommodating freestanding wardrobes or drawers. Adding to its appeal, double doors open into a private en-suite shower room, with wall mounted electric shower, WC and wash hand basin.
