Bright and contemporary in design, it features sleek white cabinetry, quality work surfaces and a central island with inset sink, creating an excellent combination of preparation and social space. Large windows and glazed doors overlook the garden and allow an abundance of natural light to flood through the room, creating a bright, spacious and inviting environment for everyday family life and entertaining. A downstairs WC adds further practicality.

The main bedroom benefits from air conditioning, while the property has two luxurious contemporary bath/shower rooms, both recently fitted to a high standard, providing stylish and well-appointed facilities for the household.

Outside, the property enjoys a particularly attractive south facing rear garden, providing a wonderful private space in which to relax and entertain. The garden has been thoughtfully improved, with a newly landscaped patio, flower beds, tiling and an upgraded drainage system, all completed in summer 2024. The garden enjoys a good degree of privacy and complements the excellent entertaining and family space provided within the house.
