The attention to detail that has gone into creating this splendid home is experienced from the moment you step inside, the décor and presentation is to show home standards, the bedrooms are all doubles and the two bath/shower rooms are well balanced and complement the splendid open plan living/dining room and kitchen. The Rayburn not only does the cooking but also heats the under floor heating that runs throughout the property.
