French doors separate the living and dining rooms and lead to a beautiful timber kitchen, which is not only spacious but features a gas hob and stainless-steel oven and dishwasher The bathroom includes a separate shower and tub, which is handy for bathing the kids or a hot soak at the end of the day.
