KEY FEATURES
SUMMARY

Today, the current vendors have meticulously maintained and updated the property seamlessly blending the timeless charm of a traditional period cottage with modern design. Throughout the home, the stylish light décor enhances the sense of space and light, while features such as the wonderful inglenook fireplace, lantern light window, exposed timbers and brickwork all add warmth and appeal to this inviting family home.
