The hallway leads off to the stylish and spacious open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. The person tasked with cooking will feel at home with the electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge / freezer and no need to worry about doing the dishes as a dishwasher is supplied. The lounge area with it’s tall ceiling and large floor to ceiling windows is airy and spacious yet feels super cosy with the comfortable sofa, the wood burner adds a warm welcome during the cooler seasons and Smart TV so you can relax, unwind and stream or watch your favourite shows.
