Natural light floods every corner of the room courtesy of large uPVC double glazed sliding doors which in turn look over the green space beyond the home giving tree lined views beyond.
The owner has also recently completely upgraded the kitchen to give a sleek and modern finish with washer/dryer and integrated appliances include an oven and hob with fridge freezer alongside a mixture of mounted wall and base storage units.
