Three generous bedrooms, (all with BIR) are complemented by a study/fourth bedroom, complete with bespoke timber cabinetry, and the family bathroom with separate shower and spa bath. A grand rear extension designed by preeminent architect, Nicholas Hardy, has created a peaceful open-plan living zone complete with a well-equipped kitchen with excellent storage, pantry and Blanco/Westinghouse appliances.
