Full Description: <p>The ground floor offers an exceptional layout designed for relaxed family life. The substantial 2007 extension introduced a well-appointed kitchen featuring durable Maia worktops, an electric Rangemaster oven, a five-ring induction hob, and integrated Bosch appliances. This space flows naturally into the dining area and the bright sitting room, which is anchored by a traditional log burner. The ground floor is further complemented by a practical utility room with direct garden access, a cloakroom, and a wet-room style family bathroom.</p><p>The accommodation is highly adaptable, featuring multiple bedrooms. A notable detail is the additional bedroom, accessed via its own private staircase, which possesses the plumbing infrastructure to add an en-suite bathroom if required.
