Bifold doors provide plenty of light into the room and give access to the rear garden.

From the family area is access to an inner hall which leads to a utility room with tiled floor, space for a washing machine and a tumble dryer, as well as a part glazed door to the rear. The inner hall also leads to a workshop, ideal as an office or a crafts room, with a door to the outside.

The turned staircase leads to the light and spacious first floor landing with loft access and leading to three good-sized bedrooms, a fourth single bedroom and the family bathroom. The front two bedrooms feature large sash bay windows and fitted wardrobes.
