The generous utility adjacent benefits from its own separate hob, as well as various corresponding built-in units and worktops, whilst a handy cloakroom sits alongside. A separate sitting room to the front aspect has a wide bay window and provides an additional comfortable space in which to relax and entertain, whilst the considerable study with marble feature fireplace offers the ideal place for the home worker.

Two of the further four bedrooms benefit from built-in storage solutions and their own contemporary en suite shower rooms, whilst the remaining two are well served by the family bathroom. The sizeable loft space above is easily accessible and offers convenient additional storage.
