Off the Reception Hallway is a door leading through to the Kitchen, which offers a range of matching oak fronted base and wall units with solid wood work surfaces, inset twin bowl sink unit, built-in double oven and 5 ring gas hob with extractor hood above. The Kitchen benefits from a Walk-in Larder with quarry tiled floor, a slate cold slab and fitted oak shelving.

An Inner Hallway off the Dining/Living-room provides access to the principal bedroom, a bathroom and second bedroom. The Main Bedroom is a good size with a separate dressing area.
