In addition, the property has seen a recent modernisation to the kitchen being fitted with a range of units with integrated appliances.

The property boasts two well proportioned reception rooms as well as three double bedrooms and tastefully appointed contemporary bathroom.

In addition the property offers hardwood sealed unit double glazed windows and gas central heating as well as relatively neutral decoration throughout.

As well as the main accommodation the property occupies a lovingly established but manageable plot, set well back from the lane behind a walled frontage having well stocked borders and a central pathway leading to a canopied timber porch. The property offers attractive, aesthetically pleasing brick elevations beneath a pantile roof.

To the rear of the property is a westerly facing, courtyard style garden, thoughtfully landscaped and well stocked with an abundance of trees and shrubs and also gives access to a useful lean to utility located within the garden.

A short distance is a useful brick garage with storage in the eaves and separate single car port which, combined, provide off road parking for two vehicles.
