Continuing from the hallway is a bespoke timber kitchen which enjoys a double aspect and flows through to the living room, there are bi-fold doors opening to an adjoining rear seating terrace and there is feature fireplace. The first floor provides a large landing, a triple aspect principal bedroom and a modern en-suite shower room, a second double bedroom and a family bathroom with a freestanding Victoria and Albert roll top volcanic stone bath. The second floor provides two double bedrooms.
