To the right, the well-appointed kitchen/dining room offers an inviting space for everyday living and entertaining, with plenty of natural light, integrated appliances for ease and herringbone style flooring.

Both rooms are generously sized with impressive feature fireplaces, stylish Victorian coving surrounding light fittings and dual aspect views of the front garden/driveway.
