Comfort and efficiency are integral to the design. The building fabric has been fully upgraded with both external and internal insulation and high performance windows (triple glazed) and doors. An Ochsner air source heat pump, paired with underfloor heating throughout, delivers even warmth year round and supports a strong energy rating (A3)Finishes are cohesive and modern, with tiled and timber flooring, recessed lighting and a contemporary electrical specification.

From the entrance hall, the plan opens to an expansive kitchen / dining / family space oriented to the views, broad glazing and glazed doors draw in natural light and connect directly to an elevated terrace for everyday use and alfresco dining. The contemporary fitted kitchen balances clean lines with practicality, incorporating an island unit and integrated appliances. Adjoining this core living area, a separate, full length living room provides a versatile second reception, ideal as a formal sitting room or children's playroom.

The bedroom accommodation is generous and well zoned. Off the inner hall beside the living areas lie two bedrooms, including a spacious bedroom with its own ensuite and a further double bedroom. A separate corridor to the right of the entrance serves the remaining rooms, a modern family bathroom and a well equipped utility room are positioned along the hallway, while a further bedroom benefits from its own ensuite.
