There is great potential to knock through into the dining room, creating a large, open-plan kitchen/diner that overlooks the rear garden—perfect for contemporary family living.
Beyond the kitchen, a lean-to area which provides access to the garden and a separate utility room.
Upstairs, the property continues to impress with two double bedrooms with fitted wardrobes, and a spacious family bathroom.
