The quality of the fittings and craftmanship of every element of the refurbishment are clear to see, creating spaces that work well for busy family life. Central to the accommodation is the wonderful open plan kitchen dining room, running the full depth of the house, with bespoke cabinet finishes, full underfloor heating and Siemens appliances all surrounding the beautiful centre island unit. The gross area exceeds 2500 sqft making this a good sized detached family home.

Both the kitchen and family room have bifold doors out onto the raised deck. Upstairs over the first and second floors are a total of 5 bedrooms (all generous doubles) three of which have ensuite shower rooms plus a family bathroom, again, all bathrooms are underfloor heated.
