Leading from this room is a useful home office perfect for today's way of working. The hub of the home is an open plan living/dining kitchen which has been tastefully updated to provide a generous range of built in units and integrated appliances with a useful utility room off as well as large open doorway leading through into a living/dining space with attractive, pitched, clear glass roof and opening skylights with access out into the front courtyard garden.

As well as the main accommodation the property occupies a generous plot with an initial shared electric gated access which leads onto a private driveway providing an excellent level of off road parking, as well as a low maintenance garden providing a generous outdoor space.
