The Property
The ground floor offers a practical and generous layout, beginning with an entrance hall giving access to the ground-floor WC and the main living accommodation.

To the rear, the kitchen/dining room is a particularly bright space, with a roof lantern bringing additional natural light into the room. The kitchen is fitted with a good range of wooden units, work surfaces and integrated cooking appliances, with plenty of space for a dining table. French doors open directly onto the rear garden, creating an easy connection between the house and outside space.

The sitting room is another generously proportioned room. Its length provides plenty of flexibility for separate seating and dining, study or play areas, while further French doors open onto the garden creating another excellent entertaining space.

The first floor provides three versatile rooms alongside the family bathroom. These rooms offer flexibility for bedrooms, children's rooms or working from home, depending on individual requirements.

A further staircase leads to the second floor, where there are two rooms beneath the roofline. The larger room benefits from a separate WC and basin, while the additional room provides useful flexible accommodation

The Outside
The property is set back from the road behind a generous frontage, with a substantial driveway providing off-road parking for several vehicles. Gated side access leads through to the rear.

The rear garden is a good size and offers plenty of space for both relaxing and entertaining. A paved terrace sits immediately outside the house, with the remainder predominantly laid to lawn and enclosed by established fencing and planting.

At the far end of the garden is a particularly useful detached garden building, divided into a garden office and separate store. This provides a ready-made space for home working, hobbies or a studio, while the adjoining store offers useful additional storage.
