Property Description - The property has been beautifully improved by current owners. You enter on the upper floor into a generous hallway with an oak floor, a front-facing window and a discreet utility cupboard housing the gas-fired boiler along with plumbing for a washing machine. From here, a door leads into the principal bedroom — an attractive double room with front-aspect windows with shutters & newly fitted wardrobes. Its en-suite features a high-quality Villeroy & Boch suite, including a concealed-cistern WC, wall-hung basin with mixer tap and a walk-in shower with tiled surround. A recessed, mirror-fronted cabinet with lighting and a heated towel rail complete the space.
