Ascend a few steps to the front path of this red-brick cottage and step inside to unveil its inviting interior. The lounge, furnished with comfortable seating, is equipped with a Smart TV for family film nights. The kitchen, boasting a stone floor and a central island with a breakfast bar, is tastefully decorated in soft greys and seamlessly opens into the sunroom/diner. Here, gather around the large table for meals or enjoy entertainment options on the second Smart TV. The sunroom/diner opens up to the garden, providing a seamless connection to the outdoors. A utility room on the ground floor adds to the convenience. Upstairs, find a twin bedroom with versatile zip-and-link beds (convertible to a king-size upon request) and a bunk bedroom with two single bunks and a pull-out trundle bed for an additional child or teenager. The family shower room is also located on this floor. On the second floor, a double bedroom, complete with an en-suite WC, is tucked under the sloping eaves of the roof. Outside, the enclosed, sun-soaked garden beckons with two levels of relaxation. The lower, decked level offers seating and a long table for al fresco dining after grilling dinner on the BBQ.
