Back in the hallway a door to the right-hand side leads into the principal reception room, the living room, which commands impressive dimensions, in this case 20'6ft by 12'8ft, making for flexible furniture placement. Stylish panelling has been added to the walls to half height and the room is flooded with an abundance of natural daylight from a superb dual aspect orientation. Completing the ground floor accommodation is the second reception which is currently utilised as a study, perfect as a work from home space, but could equally be used as a play/family room if required.

This incorporates a stylish three-piece suite comprising of a double shower enclosure, cistern concealed wc and wall mounted wash hand basin. Modern tiling adorns the walls, and the look is finished with a heated towel rail and recessed ceiling spotlights. The second bedroom also benefits from an en-suite which has been fitted with an equally stylish three-piece suite, ideal for a growing family or guest room. Of the three remaining bedrooms all occupy the rear aspect and have been decorated in neutral tones and hues and are serviced by the family bathroom. This comprises of a panelled bath with shower unit and glass screen positioned over, cistern concealed wc and wall hung wash hand basin. Modern tiling adorns the walls, whilst a heated towel rail, ceiling spotlights and obscure window contemporises the room further still.

Externally the rear garden has been thoughtfully designed and executed with several shaped patio areas ideal for relaxing or entertaining, whilst artificial lawn has been laid, giving a low maintenance feel. To one corner a beautiful, curved border has been well stocked with shrubs and bushes, in addition to wall climbers and a young tree sapling. The boundary is enclosed by a combination of brick walling and timber fencing with gated side access.
