The island has a granite top and includes a built-in wine fridge, and there is a range-style cooker with extractor above. A breakfast bar separates the kitchen from informal seating area, which has French doors leading to a covered Mediterranean-style terrace and patio with a pond.
A beautiful oak frame separates the kitchen/breakfast room from the spacious dining room and leads to the spectacular sitting room. This incredibly light and airy room forms part of the sympathetic extension carried out and features skylights, a wood burner with brick surround and oak bressummer and bi-fold doors to the rear.
The first floor landing provides access to three double bedrooms and the family bathroom. The principal bedroom is set to the rear of the property, with built-in wardrobes and a well-finished ensuite shower room.
