Without doubt, the highlight of the ground floor is an exceptional 31 ft 10 open plan kitchen/dining/living space offering a superb blend of character and modern living with the quality of the space being further enhanced by a high vaulted ceiling with two rows of spotlights and skylights pouring in plenty of natural light. There is also a feature living area with triple aspect bifold doors opening out to an entertaining space within the rear garden. The kitchen itself is beautifully appointed, finished in matt navy surmounted by quartz work surfaces with integrated ceramic sink, and a matching breakfast bar that can comfortably seat up to six.

The kitchen also features two glass display cupboards with lighting, integrated appliances including dishwasher, fridge, freezer and there is space for a range style cooker. A wonderful room bringing the garden inside.

Off the main living room there are two further bedrooms, the first of which enjoys a dual aspect with windows to front and side. This leads to a second bedroom which could also be utilised as a home office/study with window framing views across the gardens.

Completing the ground floor accommodation is the family bathroom comprising panelled bath with shower over, shower screen, pedestal wash hand basin, WC and towel rail/radiator.

Giving the unique nature of this particular property, there are two staircases, each leading to two bedrooms, the first of which features a galleried landing with doors leading off to bedroom one which is a substantial double with window framing views across the gardens.
