STEP INSIDE Stepping through the front door into the welcoming reception hall, you are immediately introduced to the sense of space and refinement that defines this beautifully home. To the left, the sitting room (17'8" x 12'2" / 5.44m x 3.71m) offers an inviting retreat, centred around a feature fireplace with inset wood burner and tiled hearth. From here, double doors open directly into the dining room (11'5" x 10'3" / 3.48m x 3.12m), a bright and versatile area ideal for formal gatherings, with a further door leading onto the rear paved terrace, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living.

An opening connects the dining room to the impressive kitchen/breakfast room (15'8" x 12'3" max / 4.78m x 3.73m max), where elegant shaker style cabinetry in soft light grey is complemented by a contrasting dark grey central island incorporating a breakfast bar. Marble effect worktops enhance the sophistication of the space, which also includes an integrated dishwasher, an inset ceramic sink, and a characterful range cooker set beneath a tiled splashback and mock chimney style extractor.
