The home offers a sociable flow of accommodation, ideally designed for everyday family life and formal entertaining. To the right, glazed doors open into the impressive dining room, extending the full depth of the house, and with ample space for seated dining set against the backdrop of a traditional-style gas fireplace. Further twin glazed doors open into a conservatory: a wonderful sunny reception room for enjoying the garden all year round. Next door, the large kitchen is fitted with a long expanse of sleek white cabinetry set beneath timber worktops, housing an integrated eye-level double oven, a gas hob, dishwasher, and space for a fridge-freezer.
