The family room is flooded with natural light and has a beautiful aspect overlooking the garden with far reaching views. This versatile open plan space incorporates a kitchen, dining and seating area and is certainly the hub of the home and a great entertaining space. The kitchen is tastefully fitted with a range of cupboards and drawers and includes an electric range cooker, American style fridge/freezer and a dishwasher. The sitting room seamlessly connects from the family room via glazed double doors and has a front aspect and cosy wood burning stove. Adding further to the flexible ground floor accommodation, there is a study which could also be utilised as a playroom, an inner lobby and utility area with further storage options and a cloakroom. On the first floor a bright and airy spacious landing area leads to two double bedrooms with built in wardrobes and pleasant views across the village. The family bathroom has a contemporary white suite comprising of an L shape shower bath.
