A stylish family bathroom with a white four-piece suite, including a separate bath and shower, serves the remaining bedrooms.

Additional features include gas central heating, double glazing, and solar panels for improved energy efficiency.

Externally, the rear garden is a true highlight - enclosed and not overlooked, with a large lawn, two patio areas, an Astroturf section, and a dedicated children's play area, creating a perfect outdoor haven for all ages.
