A beautifully extended and modernised three-bedroom semi-detached home, offering stylish, contemporary living throughout. Set on a generous plot, the property boasts a large rear garden, perfect for families and outdoor entertaining, alongside spacious interiors designed for comfort and flexibility.

The Property

Step through the front door into a welcoming entrance hall, where classic proportions and clean lines immediately impress. To your left, the living room offers a generous space ideal for cozy evenings by the fire or entertaining guests, bathed in natural light from its wide front-facing windows.

Continue through to the heart of the home, an expansive kitchen/dining room designed with family life in mind. At the heart of the solid oak kitchen, a large central island takes centre stage, surrounded by generous worktops and thoughtful detailing which creates a truly inviting space. Full-height bifold doors open seamlessly onto the rear garden, blurring the lines between inside and out.

Adjoining the kitchen is a utility room, neatly tucked away to keep everyday chores out of sight, and beyond that a modern ground-floor bathroom.

Set just off the kitchen, the study offers ideal space for working from home or could be styled as a snug, playroom, or even guest bedroom, versatility at its best.

Upstairs, the first floor houses three well-proportioned bedrooms, each with its own charm. The principal bedroom is generous in size and perfectly positioned for quiet retreat. A second bathroom on this level, sleek and modern, ensures convenience for family and guests alike.

The Outside

Beyond the main house, a detached garage provides secure parking or the ideal space for a workshop or studio, ready to suit your needs.

The property also benefits from ample off-street parking, offering convenience for families, guests, or multiple vehicles, all within the privacy of your own grounds.

This leads seamlessly into a generously sized garden, a standout feature of the home. Beautifully laid out and full of potential, it provides an ideal backdrop for outdoor entertaining, children’s play, or peaceful afternoons in the sun. Whether you're envisioning summer gatherings, a kitchen garden, or space for future enhancements, the garden offers both versatility and tranquillity in equal measure.
