The heart of the home is the kitchen, refitted in 2022, and styled in a timeless shaker design, which flows through to a practical utility room. Whether you're preparing family meals or hosting summer get-togethers, this space is both functional and inviting. A new family bathroom was installed in 2020 by the previous owner, reflecting the continued investment in the home’s upkeep and quality.
