The abundance of glazing lets you enjoy the views over the valley below through all the seasons.

French doors lead to the southwest facing patio area which further benefits from a clever retractable awning system for those sunny and damp days.

The utility room is located off the kitchen with fully fitted units, a separate door to the side garden and a neatly designed guest WC to further complement this intelligent use of space.

As you come back into the central hub, the entrance hallway, you are greeted by a snug/sitting room which is an ideal place to further admire the views while enjoying some quiet time. An open fireplace with traditional surround and built-in book cases to complete the look and provide a cosy spot for relaxation.
