Off the garage is a room which can be used as an additional living space or comfortable workshop. Don't miss seeing the large flex room upstairs which can be another bedroom, office, craft or play room. Built with energy efficiency as a priority, you will notice the wide window sills as the house was built to a higher quality design of double wall framing using an air gap to significantly improve the effectiveness of insulation and noise reduction.
