Integrated appliances include a new Bosch dishwasher, a fridge-freezer, and a freestanding ILVE stainless steel 2-oven range cooker, with an assortment of oven fittings, 5 gas hobs including a hotplate, and a built-in extractor hood over, which vents externally. 

The island breakfast bar features electricity points for convenience and a chandelier-style light over, with custom-fitted bar stools, and a display shelf at the end.

The ground-floor bathroom is a generous space with a wash hand basin set into a cabinet, a panelled bath with shower over, a heated towel rail and a w.c.. and a deep storage cupboard with plumbing for a washing machine.

The large room to the front is currently in use as a double bedroom, and features a bay window, and a fireplace with connection for a gas fire. (Agent's note, it currently houses a free-standing electric fire).

Agent's Note: The vendor advises that the simple removal of a ground floor stud-wall, and removal of the first floor kitchenette units would be possible to create a single 3 bedroom property. 

Outside
The Southwest-facing enclosed walled garden has been tastefully refurbished and features a raised composite deck set on a robust concrete and hardwood-framed base. Brick wall raised beds double as seating around the periphery, and are planted with perennials, espaliered apple trees, a productive fig tree and a pear tree. A wisteria has been trained along the back wall, and ferns occupy the attractive shade bed. An over-sized garden umbrella connects to the rear wall of the house via hooks, creating an awning for shade. Access to the rear of the property is via a gate to the locked alleyway, and is shared with the neighbours. 

To the front, the brick wall which edges the front garden has had 2 metal bicycle storage hoops fitted, for secure storage.
