Description

3 Martin Gardens was built in 2006 to a design by local firm Denholm Partnership Architects.

Solid oak entrance doors open to a vestibule and then to the reception hall. To the left of the hall is a formal sitting room with large windows and a carved stone mantel surrounding a wood burning stove. To the right of the hall is the open plan kitchen / dining room which has a cosy living room (also with wood burning stove) offset. The kitchen has a large central island and a view to the back garden whilst French windows from the dining area open to the verandah at the front of the house. There is also a utility room, larder and WC on the ground floor.
