A generously proportioned country-style kitchen features an extensive range of natural timber cabinetry, decorative ironmongery and ample work surfaces. The U-shaped arrangement incorporates tiled splashbacks, a stainless steel sink, integrated dishwasher and gas hob. A wood-panelled ceiling adds warmth, whilst windows overlook the gardens and countryside with far reaching views towards the moors. A dedicated breakfast area provides space for informal dining. Conveniently positioned alongside the kitchen, a separate utility room offers space for laundry appliances and additional storage. A further WC is located beyond the kitchen, providing additional convenience for everyday use and visiting guests.
The formal dining room provides an ideal setting for family gatherings and entertaining, with ample space for a substantial dining suite and sliding glazed doors opening onto the balcony. An exceptionally spacious living room centres around a striking natural stone fireplace, with expansive windows framing far-reaching rural views. Neutral décor and timber detailing complement its traditional character, whilst the generous proportions allow for multiple seating arrangements. Access leads through to the adjoining conservatory.
