A ceramic 11⁄2 bowl sink with drainer is complemented by an instant boiling water tap, while a movable island with storage and a stainless-steel worktop adds flexibility and functionality to the space.

This room also features a generous over-stairs storage cupboard fitted with shelving, making excellent use of the available space.

The recently updated shower room features a corner rainfall shower with a separate hand attachment, wall-mounted vanity unit with inset basin, and WC. Low-level LED lighting creates a contemporary feel, while grey marble-effect wall panels and a chrome heated towel rail complete the room.

Outside
To the front of the property, there are two gravelled parking spaces separated by a pathway leading to a picket gate. A wooden shed is positioned to the right as you enter through the gate, providing useful additional storage. To the side of the property there is an outside tap and an electrical hook up, suitable for a caravan. The pathway continues to the front door and extends down to a gate at the bottom of the garden, leading to Munday’s Mead, separating the main lawn from the vegetable garden.
The rear garden enjoys a desirable south-facing aspect, making it ideal for enjoying the sun throughout the day. A paved patio provides an excellent space for outdoor seating and dining, leading onto a good-sized lawn. To the right of the pathway is a greenhouse and vegetable garden, perfect for those with an interest in home growing. Tucked discreetly behind the rear of the property is a bin store, along with a gate providing a right of way for neighbouring access.
