The entrance hall is light and spacious with a door which leads into the cloakroom/wc.

The kitchen has an attractive view over the rear gardens, wooden worktops with drawers and cupboards under, inset sink with mixer tap, plumbing for a dishwasher and doors which lead through to the back porch onto the garden. On the first floor the master bedroom with en-suite is located to the rear of the property and has an attractive double aspect view.
