Heading through an opening in the wall, you’ll find the elegantly presented dining room is perfect for enjoying a family get-together, and leads along to a sleek, fully equipped kitchen with plenty of storage space. Beside the staircase leading to the first floor is a stylishly arranged bathroom with a shower over the bath. Going upstairs, a WC can be found on the first-floor landing, alongside a choice of three bright and relaxing beamed bedrooms: a snug double with a TV, a cosy single, and a lovely king-size room with a TV and en-suite WC.
Doors from the kitchen lead to the enclosed wraparound garden, with a lawn, patio, and a charming vine-covered seating area perfect for dining alfresco on a sunny afternoon, alongside a delightful summer house.
