From here, you step into the spacious living/dining room, an inviting area centred around a feature fireplace and ideal for both everyday living and entertaining.
To the rear of the property lies the beautifully presented kitchen, a standout space offering an impressive range of matching base and eye‐level units, an integrated double pantry fridge and freezer, a double oven, and under‐counter integrated appliances including a dishwasher and washing machine.
