Set off the hall, is a small study and cloakroom. The heart of the house is an impressive bespoke fitted kitchen with extensive modern units and a wide dining area, with bi-fold doors out to the garden and patio terrace. Set off the kitchen is an inner hall leading to a dining room (or play room as desired), a large utility room / boot room and an interconnecting door to the triple garage. On the first floor there is a bedroom suite, two further bedrooms and family bathroom, with stairs rising to a second bedroom suite, further bedroom and shower room on the second floor.
