The kitchen itself has solid wall and floor units with block countertops and attractive tiled flooring. Appliances include the built in electric oven with hob and extractor above.

The family bathroom completes the ground floor accommodation and is a very generous size with a large frosted window to rear, free standing bath with shower unit, WC and hand basin.
The first floor is made up of two double bedrooms including the master room with a generous bath en-suite. Stepping down to the en-suite magnifies its generous size with bath and shower over, WC and the wash hand basin. Window to side aspect. The master also benefits from a built in wardrobe and a charming fireplace.
