The kitchen has a number of wall and base units and a central electric Aga with tiled splashback. The 8 seater dining table faces towards French patio doors, overlooking the pretty front garden.

To the back of the kitchen is a practical 'lean-to' with access to utilities and storage. The living room has been tastefully finished, again filled with natural light.

The space is ideal for a playroom for families, an additional study for home-working purposes or simply another snug area to relax. It's currently being used as an art studio and gym.

On the first floor are four double bedrooms and two bathrooms. The principal bedroom is particularly impressive, spanning c.23ft in length, with high vaulted ceilings which create a great impact. The en-suite is finished with a brick wall tile and large shower.
