Accessed from the hallway is the dining room with exposed stone walls, a door to the front of the property and wrought iron detailing leading through to the kitchen. The dining room has a beautiful flagstone floor that flows through from the entrance hallway.
The kitchen is the heart of the property and is fitted with a range of wall and base units with granite work surfaces and integrated appliances including a fridge/freezer, dishwasher, washing machine and microwave.
