The kitchen has an abundance of cupboard space as the ceiling height has been fully utilised with wall mounted units. The worktop houses the oven with hob above and the sink that sits neatly under the window overlooking the garden.

There is also side access to the garden for bikes and taking out garden waste.

There are two bedrooms, one at the back benefiting from the full height of the dormer with a floor to ceiling window offering nice views and plenty of light. The bedroom at the front has an ingenious Velux Cabrio balcony that opens up to reveal spectacular views.
The third room is intended to be a shower room which has been plumbed to first fix but has been left as a blank canvas for the new owners to finish off to their own taste.
