The living room is an inviting room in which to spend time with family and friends. A large window overlooking the pleasant front garden and a pair of replaced sliding doors take advantage of the open outlook to the rear making this a gloriously light and bright room. An electric feature fireplace with an attractive surround and hearth forms an exquisite focal point and there is plenty of space to accommodate a range of comfortable seating. Coving and wood-look flooring add further elegance.

A door opposite opens to the snug with a large window matching that of the living room. This is a superb multi-use room and could be utilised as a home office, a playroom or a ground floor bedroom if you so wished.

Spacious and appealing to modern living, the kitchen-diner offers a good number of wall and base units with a light wood-look door complemented by a contrasting dark granite effect work surface, stone-look splash back tiling and dark floor tiles in the kitchen area.

A door leads to the utility room where there is plumbing and space for a washing machine and space for a tumble dryer and waste containers. The décor matches that of the kitchen and there is a composite door which provides external access to the side of the property. A second door provides access to the conveniently placed ground floor WC which comprises a close coupled toilet with a push button behind and a wall hung hand wash basin. The space is finished to match the décor of the kitchen creating continuity.

Taking the stairs to the first floor, the spacious landing opens out to four bedrooms, a large cupboard housing the pressurised hot water cylinder, and the family bathroom. A drop-down ladder provides access to a partially boarded loft for storage and a useful light.
