The snug area is a fantastic addition to the home and offers a flexible space that can easily adapt to suit a variety of needs.

The utility also benefits from a ground-floor WC, a particularly useful addition for families and guests alike, enhancing the practicality of the home and perfectly complementing the generous ground-floor living accommodation.

Ascending the staircase to the first floor, the generous landing provides access to all three bedrooms and the family bathroom, along with a useful built-in storage cupboard. 

The principal bedroom and second bedroom are both spacious double rooms, each benefiting from large windows that fill the rooms with natural light and offer plenty of space for wardrobes and bedroom furniture.

The third bedroom provides a comfortable single room that would work perfectly as a child’s bedroom, nursery or home office, depending on individual needs.

Completing the interior is the modern family bathroom, beautifully fitted with a contemporary suite comprising a bath with a shower over, WC with concealed system and wash hand basin set within a vanity unit. Finished with quality fittings and stylish accessories, this space has been designed to meet the daily needs of a busy household while maintaining a clean and modern appearance.
