The accommodation continues into first reception room, whilst there is a lovely cosy ambience, which is the hallmark of this home, aided in no small part by the feature open fireplace and alcove built in cabinetry. To the rear of the home there is an additional sitting room, filled with light via the large windows overlooking the rear gardens and which providing direct access to the rear garden. A pretty morning room, again filled with light due to its sunny aspect, offers a walk in pantry, ideal for storage and also offers access in to the kitchen. The kitchen is fitted with a range of wooden wall and base units and accommodates all the usual appliances with direct access in to the lovely rear garden and patio terrace.
