The principal living room is split-level and divides into two distinct areas in one large open-plan space. The dining room sits to the upper level which has access into a garden room to one side which overlooks the side garden area and has access into a sheltered courtyard. Steps from the dining room lead down to a sitting room which features an open fireplace and patio doors opening out to the rear garden. The kitchen/breakfast room forms a broad L-shape with a range of shaker style storage cupboards and wooden worktops, integrated fridge and dishwasher with space for cooking range and American style fridge-freezer. A window overlooks the rear garden and a door opens to outside. There is also a door giving access into the garage and an adjoining utility room which contains further storage cupboards, worktops and space for additional appliances.

Gardens to the rear are a particularly impressive feature of this property creating a private parkland feel, being laid out predominantly to lawn with an extensive range of mature trees, shrubs and plants creating an extremely well enclosed and private area.
