It is well presented throughout, having been nicely modernised over the years, offering perfect family accommodation that’s particularly spacious on the ground floor.

A shared pathway and steps lead to the double-glazed front door. The useful entrance porch leads to the entrance hall, where there’s a downstairs cloakroom and the stairs lead to the first floor. To one side is a good size dual aspect sitting room, offering plenty of natural light, with double glazed double doors opening on to the rear garden and a central feature fireplace. Beyond the hall is the kitchen, which is fitted with a range of wall and base units, with space for an oven, dishwasher and fridge freezer.

The first floor landing leads to three good size bedrooms, with the rear bedrooms benefitting from views over the countryside to the rear. The family bathroom has a white suite, comprising of a bath with shower over, low level WC and pedestal wash hand basin.

Outside - To the front, the current owners have added a parking area, although the kerb has not been dropped. Shared steps and a path lead you to the front door. There is a shared path to the side of the property. The attractive rear garden, has an enclosed gravelled seating area, with an outside tap. A gate opens to steps rising to the enclosed lawn, where further steps and an unofficial gateway, lead into the field beyond. Although this is not a formal right of way, we understand local residents make use of the Dillington Estate permitted paths for dog walking etc. Adjoining the rear of the kitchen is a useful brick storage shed / tool shed.

Situation - Tucked away on the northern edge of the town, the property lies away from busy traffic in a mature residential area. A short walk along the public footpaths takes you down into the town centre. The rear of the property backs onto open countryside belonging to the Dillington Estate. As well as public footpaths in the local area, the Dillington Estate offers several kilometres of permissive footpaths, making this an ideal location for dog walkers.
