The family kitchen is again an impressive size but is now in need of some attention. It overlooks the front gardens and features a range of units and a central island with granite worktops. A doorway from here takes you through to the rear lobby, with onward access to the utility room and out to the driveway and gardens.

The substantial conservatory has double doors out to the gardens.

The first-floor landing provides access to four double bedrooms with both the front and rear having potential as master bedrooms, dependant on your preference.
