The interiors showcase a harmonious blend of quality materials, with polished tiles, warm solid wood walnut floors and finishes enhancing the sense of comfort and sophistication throughout. The bright and welcoming entrance hall flows seamlessly into a generous open plan kitchen and dining area, fitted with a gas hob, bespoke cabinetry, and French doors leading to a sunny south facing patio and pergola, perfect for al fresco dining and entertaining. Adjacent to this, the sitting room is a standout space, complete with a striking stone feature wall and a wood burning stove, creating an inviting atmosphere ideal for relaxing or hosting.
