Access
Pedestrian access to the house is by way of the single gate at the front of the property which leads to the charming red storm doors. Vehicular access is via the driveway which has large stone pillars either side.
Hallway
Once through the storm doors and subsequent vestibule a large glazed wooden door opens up to reveal the welcoming hallway which leads to one of the bedrooms, on the right, and the kitchen area on the left.

A large wooden door opens to the modern kitchen section where white wall and base units, with contrasting worktops, immediately catch your eye.

Perfectly positioned, just off the kitchen area is space for a good sized family table and chairs.
A small step up and you are in the living section of this fantastic room, where the wooden flooring and contemporary, yet classic, theme continues. The area is kept cosy with the wood-burning stove, with the radiators augmenting the warmth if need be. Kept bright and airy by the two windows along one wall and the patio doors which open up to the family friendly back garden. A large recess is both practical and aesthetically pleasing once stocked with logs for the stove.
