In the kitchen, you will find everything you will need for whipping up a delicious meal including double electric oven and induction hob, microwave, dishwasher, fridge/freezer, and coffee machine, and after dinner retreat to the sofa and armchairs that overlook the garden for a sociable evening of entertaining. For those that want to catch up on their favourite box sets or TV programs, the snug offers a large corner sofa on which all the family can snuggle up in front of the 55" 4KSmart TV with special Game Mode for those avid gamers (bring your own PlayStation/Xbox) on those wet and chilly days. The ground floor is completed with a cloakroom with WC and a handy utility cupboard with a washer dryer and space for storing coats and shoes.
