The dining room sits just off the central hallway, at the back of the property overlooking the garden, with double patio doors leading outside. This area provides a great space for family dinners or entertaining friends, and could be a versatile room with many uses. The living room is a welcoming area with gas fire and fireplace surround, a large front aspect window that lets in plenty of natural light, making the most of the peaceful surroundings.
