The kitchen opens to a snug area with contemporary fireplace and feature ceramic tiled floor.

The master suite has a dresing room, built in wardrobe and a seating area in front of a large window overlooking the side and front gardens, also there is a superb designer shower room, and a door leading to a first floor decked terrace overlooking the rear gardens. There are three further double bedrooms, two with ensuite shower rooms and bedroom 4 has a fixed staircase leading to the studio / roof space.
