This delightful home has been very well maintained and in recent years has benefitted from a new modern bathroom suite, stylish and practical Karndean flooring has been laid in the majority of the rooms and some windows have been fitted with shutters.
The property provides ample room for a small family or couple with plenty of room for entertaining guests - the open plan kitchen/dining room is perfect for hosting gatherings or simply enjoying a quiet meal at home and for convenience, there is a cloakroom on the ground floor as well as the second floor. The outdoor spaces provides a tranquil place to relax and unwind after a busy day with a choice of the courtyard or roof terrace - the choice is yours to make.
