After parking up in the large driveway, the main door is accessed at the side of the property, leading into a utility room with washing machine and tumble dryer, so you won’t have to bring your whole wardrobe! Step into the quirky and characterful kitchen, where you can sit at the centre island and keep the chef company whilst they get to grips with the range of appliances, including an electric oven and hob, microwave, American style fridge/freezer and a lovely AGA range cooker (for ornamental use only). Spend your downtime in the sitting room, presented with two chesterfield sofas and armchairs to relax upon, along with a Smart TV so you can stay updated with your favourite shows. The first of the bedrooms is found on the ground-floor; originally used as a sitting room, it has been lovingly converted with a super king-size bed and features a decorative fireplace and stove, perfect for those with limited mobility.
