Just off the kitchen is a spacious multi-purpose room, currently used as a study, but easily adaptable into a third bedroom, creative studio, or second lounge area. The home further offers two inviting bedrooms with built-in cupboards and two beautifully modern bathrooms with spacious walk-in showers. Large wooden sliding doors in the lounge allow sunlight and fresh air to stream effortlessly through the home, adding to the peaceful farm-style atmosphere.
