To the rear of the property lies the heart of the home, an impressive open-plan kitchen/family area and summer room.
The kitchen itself has been fitted to a high standard, boasting stylish Amtico flooring, elegant quartz worksurfaces and the added practicality of a separate pantry.
The adjoining summer room elevates the space further, featuring a retractable projector, integrated speakers, and hdmi cabling making it ideal for entertaining or immersive family movie nights.
Complementing the kitchen is a well-appointed utility room finished with attractive woodblock work surfaces and housing the updated gas boiler.
A side door provides convenient access to the garden, linking seamlessly between the front driveway and the expansive rear grounds.

The dual-aspect master bedroom is particularly noteworthy, spanning an impressive 22'.

The rear garden remains a standout feature, substantial in size and offering a high degree of privacy/recreational space and now benefits from a fully insulated timber cabin complete with internet cabling, making it an ideal home office, studio, or gaming room.
