There is a stunning kitchen/dining room with large windows and French doors
providing plenty of natural light and creating a delightful aspect across the
terrace and garden. The kitchen is well fitted with painted shaker - style
units, a butlers sink, integrated appliances and an Aga range cooker, and

are three bedrooms, all benefitting from built - in storage, and delightful
views. There is also a dressing room, which could alternatively be used as a
