The kitchen has a number of enviable features including a breakfast bar that accommodates up to three people, a Rangemaster with extractor fan, a good number of timber wall and base units and a double ceramic sink. The dual aspect living room provides a comfortable place to relax with an open fireplace offering an attractive focal point. Completing the accommodation on this level is a double bedroom with an ensuite shower room (currently serving as a home office), a further bedroom and a WC. Two storage cupboards off the entrance hallway provide useful storage space. Having an ensuite bedroom on the ground floor also futureproofs the property as a forever home.
