New lime render has been applied to both the front and back of the building and upgrades have been made to the roof.The front door opens onto an attractive hallway with Amtico flooring and a storage cupboard. Quietly situated to the rear is the impressive, generously proportioned sitting room / dining room where panelled walls and a striking marble fireplace with open flame gas fire creates a superb focal point. With plenty of space for dining, this beautiful space is a wonderful place in which to relax.The sleek lines of the wall and base mounted kitchen cabinetry are brought together by the elegant silestone worktops and splashbacks, well-lit with both ceiling and counter toplighting. Fitted with a large dual fuel range cooker, the kitchen also incorporates Siemens appliances (a fridge/freezer, dishwasher and washing machine). The outlook is towards the communal garden area.Flooded with natural light from large, dual aspect windows, the master bedroom is a sumptuous space, with an attractive fireplaceand extensive fitted wardrobes.To the rear is a second double bedroom with a feature wall.
