An inner hallway leads to the principal ground floor accommodation. The recently updated kitchen is both stylish and highly functional, featuring an array of shaker-style units, a Bosch double oven, and a Neff induction hob. The living room extends the full length of the property and flows seamlessly into the open-plan dining area, creating an ideal space for entertaining.
