The open-plan kitchen is centered around a distinctive original hearth equipped with a five-burner chef’s oven, facilitating both culinary function and character. The generous living area featuring a fireplace creates a cosy, welcoming environment ideal for relaxing or hosting guests.

Two bedrooms equipped with built-in robes include a spacious main bedroom overlooking the lush front garden, promoting a peaceful retreat. The property further benefits from a bathroom tiled in classic subway style, a second toilet for convenience, and a large walk-in laundry space that supports everyday household tasks efficiently.
