A Charming Welcome:
Opposite Mill Lane Bowls Club, turn into the (almost invisible) no-through road and wind your way to the end of this quiet street. Nestled in a quiet cul-de-sac, make your way to the left and let the peace and tranquillity envelop you as you pull up onto the front driveway. As you get out of the car and make your way toward the home, it’s easy to forget how close you are to the town centre. The 1980’s robust construction methods mixed with the imposing Georgian style architecture provides something a little different… your forever home awaits.

Living Spaces:
As you enter the welcoming entrance hall, you’ll immediately notice the high ceilings and cornicing that accentuates the Georgian styling. Walk through into a spacious reception room, currently serving as the ground floor living room. It's adorned with oak flooring and bathed in natural light from the south-facing windows, as well as the patio doors leading out onto the rear garden. This versatile space can effortlessly transform into a sophisticated formal dining area. It's perfect for entertaining.

Walk upstairs to the first floor and another cosy living room will greet you. Plush carpeting is underfoot. This is another dual aspect room boasting a bright window facing south. To the north aspect is a balcony overlooking the serene rear garden, with picturesque views of the church bell tower in the distance.

Both living areas are equipped with separate living flame gas fires. Perfect for snug evenings, unwinding and enjoying your favourite TV shows. These spaces offer an exemplary balance of comfort and functionality.

Working From Home:
The additional study room on the second floor enhances the versatility of the home. It caters to various lifestyle requirements. The study is currently well catered to working from home, with its view over the garden & clever storage solutions. Yet, you can easily use this room as a fifth bedroom if required. It will comfortably house a single bed, bunk beds, or a small double bed.

Bedrooms:
All of the bedrooms are well-proportioned, designed for comfort and versatility. But, it's the master bedroom on the second floor that steals the spotlight. This room floods with natural light from dual aspect windows facing both north and south. It’s spacious enough to house a large dressing table, as well as the ample fitted wardrobes (including a purpose-built shoe cupboard) and a super-king size bed. It also boasts a generously sized ensuite with a large walk-in shower. The other bedrooms, split between the first and second floors, provide warmth & flexibility. They all can easily accommodate single beds, bunk beds, or small double beds (along with additional furniture) to suit your needs.

Bathrooms:
This three-storey home boasts convenience with a WC on each floor. As you step into the entrance hallway, you’ll find a ground floor cloakroom to your right, comprising a basin and WC. The first-floor family bathroom features a bath with a shower above, while the ensuite to the master bedroom on the second floor offers a generously sized walk-in shower. Although the bathrooms retain functionality, the potential for modernisation presents an exciting opportunity to tailor these spaces to your personal taste.

Kitchen:
The kitchen is a culinary haven. White units with clever inserts and concealed drawers maximise storage space. The countertops provide sophistication. The integrated appliances include a 5-burner gas hob and double electric ovens. There's also a dishwasher and a fridge freezer. From the kitchen there are two entrances into the rear garden. The side door leads to the paved patio area (a real sun trap!) to the side aspect. Or, follow the kitchen to the rear aspect. You will find a cohesive connection from the kitchen to the conservatory, which is currently used as the dining room. It is a serene sanctuary with lighting and a fitted heater/air cooling unit which is linked to the central heating system.

In the summer, open the bi-fold doors to unveil uninterrupted garden views. This creates a perfect environment for entertaining the family and enjoying tranquil Sunday brunches. The connection between the kitchen and the attached conservatory enhances the seamless indoor-outdoor living experience.

Gardens:
The secure gardens surrounding the property create a private & tranquil retreat. The rear lawn, enveloped by a wall & hedges ensures uninterrupted privacy. The courtyard area at the side is a sun trap, perfect for hosting delightful BBQs or enjoying a morning coffee. The garden's thoughtful design, with lighting and power points, allows for uninterrupted enjoyment well into the evening.

Parking:
A front driveway welcomes two cars. There's also an option to create a larger driveway for two more vehicles. The base is already there (under the Astroturf). This is complemented by a tandem garage, providing ample space for additional vehicles or versatile storage. Lastly, additional parking is available on Orchards and directly in front of the house. This ensures convenience for visitors in this tranquil cul-de-sac setting.
