Beyond the kitchen, an outer hall leads to a stylish shower room and an additional family room overlooking the rear garden.

The rear garden is an absolute delight, and outdoor space of this scale is rarely found in such a central location. Extending to approximately 20m (65ft), with an additional side garden measuring approximately 10m (30ft), it offers exceptional space for relaxing, entertaining, and family living. A garden shed provides valuable additional storage. More about the location.... The location of Longwood Avenue is equally impressive.
