An inviting entrance hallway leads into a light-filled front lounge which can be used as a peaceful retreat from the main living areas.

The main feature of the Atherton home lies at its rear – a beautifully extended open-plan kitchen, dining and family space, described by the estate agent as the "heart of the home" by the estate agent.

The kitchen boasts sleek dark cabinetry, integrated appliances, quality worktops, and a peninsular island equipped with breakfast seating.

An eye-catching feature is the exposed beams, which add warmth and character.

The space is bathed in light, thanks to the large sliding doors which offer a seamless transition to the garden.
