PROPERTY DESCRIPTION

Set back behind a large block-paved drive with parking for several cars, this three bedroom house has 1,234 sq ft of living space and a 196 sq ft garage. The property has all the benefits of a relatively modern house. With a considered layout and windows in all rooms (including the bathrooms) it’s well-suited to contemporary lifestyles.

The front door opens into a large front porch with natural light, and from there to a hallway with a built-in storage cupboard. There’s also a shower room and a kitchen on the ground floor in addition to the lovely, large living room. Originally two rooms, this is very spacious and has excellent natural light from windows at both ends, including large double sliding doors that open onto the low-maintenance paved rear garden. The adjacent kitchen is well-equipped, with fitted wall and floor cupboards and a combination of integrated and freestanding appliances. A glazed side door leads to the rear garden, and a window above the sink provides garden views.

The shower room is fully tiled, and has a freestanding shower cubicle, washbasin, and WC. A window to the front porch provides daylight and ventilation.

There are three bedrooms and a bathroom on the first floor. All bedrooms are doubles with bespoke fitted wardrobes. The main bedroom and third bedroom are east-facing and overlook the rear garden, whilst the second bedroom and bathroom are at the front of the property. The bedrooms are carpeted for comfort, and the third bedroom is particularly charming, with windows on two sides. The bathroom on this floor is a generous size and has a bath and a separate shower cubicle as well as a washbasin and WC. It also has a large, obscured glass window.

Outside, the property sits on a large, fully paved plot, with a gated side alley and a shed/garage building at the end of the rear garden with vehicle access from the side road. Currently used as a shed, this building would need to be fitted with a larger entrance to facilitate use as a garage. The property details include digitally staged photos to show the garden's potential.

The property is in good condition. It has diamond wired double glazed windows and the internal lighting includes recessed ceiling light panels in the living room and bedrooms. All rooms except the hall, kitchen and bathrooms are carpeted, and the house has gas central heating.

The property has potential for extension to the rear, and the paved rear garden has lots of scope for development into a greener space. With a very open southerly aspect it enjoys all-day sunshine, making it a great place for planting.
