Accommodation

The front door opens into a spacious entrance hall, where stairs rise to the first floor and a door leads into the principal living accommodation. The sitting room is a bright and welcoming space, enjoying excellent natural light through an attractive circular bay window to the front aspect. This comfortable room flows seamlessly into the open-plan kitchen and dining area, which has been thoughtfully opened up by the current owners to create a contemporary and highly sociable living environment, complemented by refinements such as modern radiators and light fittings. The dining area provides ample space for a table and chairs and benefits from double doors opening directly onto the rear garden, creating an excellent connection between the indoor and outdoor living spaces and a dual aspect with the bay window at the front. The kitchen has been stylishly upgraded and is fitted with a comprehensive range of wall and base storage cupboards and drawers, complemented by generous work surface areas and a stainless-steel sink and drainer positioned beneath a window overlooking the rear garden. Further features include an electric oven with gas hob and extractor canopy above, integrated fridge and freezer, space for a washing machine and additional appliances, and a cupboard housing the gas combination boiler.

To the first floor, the landing provides access to all three bedrooms. There are two comfortable double bedrooms, positioned to the front and rear aspects respectively, while the third bedroom overlooks the front and would make an ideal nursery, children’s bedroom or home office. A useful airing cupboard is located above the stairwell. Completing the accommodation is the family bathroom, fitted with a white suite comprising a WC, wash hand basin, heated towel rail and panelled bath with shower over.

Outside & parking

To the front of the property, a pleasant lawned garden sits beneath the bay window, creating an attractive and green approach to the home that is simple to maintain. A spacious brick-paved driveway provides ample off-road parking.

The rear garden is fully enclosed by fencing, creating a safe environment for children and pets. Access is available from both the kitchen and the dining area, with a hard-standing patio adjoining the rear of the property and providing an excellent space for outdoor seating and entertaining. Beyond this, the garden continues into a generous shingled area, attractively bordered by a wide variety of established shrubs, colourful planting and decorative pots that provide year-round interest. A useful timber storage shed offers practical storage, while a paved seating area tucked away in the far corner creates a particularly cosy and inviting spot to relax and enjoy the garden. Spacious side access further enhances the practicality of this charming and well-maintained outdoor space, along with useful additions such as an outside tap.
