Key Features:

• Delightful Kitchen: Entering the property from the rear, the entrance hall leads to the breakfasting kitchen which has a delightful outlook over the garden and countryside. The super, central island provides a dining space and houses an integrated electric oven and gas hob. There is also space for a washing machine and American-style fridge freezer.
