After dinner, retire to the inviting sitting room and sink into plush sofas as you watch your favourite films or shows on the Smart TV, all while your four-legged friends snooze happily nearby.

On the ground floor, you'll also find a handy cloakroom, a practical utility room, and a fun-filled bunk bedroom for the children. Upstairs, three beautifully presented bedrooms await.

The super-king-size room offers a sleek en-suite shower room, while the king-size and twin bedrooms share a gleaming Jack and Jill bathroom for relaxing soaks. Outside, there’s ample room to unwind and play.
