The farmhouse-style kitchen has been thoughtfully designed to provide both practicality and charm. Fitted with an extensive range of wall and base units, complemented by generous work surfaces and a central island, it offers excellent preparation and storage space alongside integrated appliances and room for a freestanding fridge freezer. A dining area at one end makes this an ideal everyday family space, while doors open directly onto the gardens, effortlessly connecting indoor and outdoor living during the warmer months. An adjoining utility room provides additional storage and appliance space, while a well-appointed cloakroom/shower room completes the ground floor accommodation.

Without doubt, the gardens are one of the property's finest features.
