The kitchen has an island unit with inset stainless-steel sink and granite worktop. There is a further bank of cupboards and drawers, with integrated dishwasher, electric oven, ceramic hob and stainless steel extractor hood.

Located off the living area is the main bedroom which has an en suite bathroom with shower cubicle, handbasin and WC. Walk in storage cupboard. There is a second double bedroom with built in cupboards and a family bathroom with a roll top bath, vanity unit and WC. Stairs rise to the mezzanine bedroom.
