Description
Arriving at the property, you will immediately notice the beautifully kept front gardens, with lush green lawn, neatly bordered by mature trees and shrubs. An extensive block paving driveway curves across the front of the property and to the side, offering parking for a number of vehicles. The paving continues along the right, providing side access to the rear of the property via a wooden gate. The driveway also leads to the single garage, adjoined to the right of the property.
The navy-blue Victorian glazed front door sits beside a glass panel, and opens into a small porch, then on to a generously sized entrance hall. The first two bedrooms are located on the left, with the sitting room and dining room to your right, with the bathroom ahead of you.
The sitting room immediately impresses with the prominent window and beautiful alcove shelving, offering decorative glass shelves with lighting to illuminate treasured keepsakes. A stunning stone fireplace occupies the centre of the room, complemented by the neutral décor in the room. This is an efficiently heated home with Thermal Tubes fitted on the roof, supplying hot water to the property, as well a Hive thermostat providing smart heating.
Glazed double doors open into the dining room, allowing the two spaces to become one larger room, or closed off to provide a cosy living space or intimate dining area. The dining room enjoys plenty of natural light thanks to the patio doors at the foot of the room, and the continued neutral décor. Wooden stairs leading to the first floor offer an attractive feature as well as useful storage space beneath.
The dining room leads next into a small hallway, continuing to a handy utility room, which itself leads to internal access to the garage as well as side access to the exterior of the property. The kitchen is situated at the rear of the property adjacent to the utility, offering a light and bright space adorned with cream coloured kitchen units and terracotta worktops. Decorative tiling provides a pop of colour throughout, and a smart use of additional worktop provides a small fitted seating area for two. There is an integrated fridge and dishwasher, making washing up a breeze. An electric oven sits below a gas hob, with the sink sitting below the window looking out to the back garden.
The rear south facing garden is accessible via the kitchen as well as the patio doors in the dining room, allowing for free-flowing movement between rooms when entertaining friends and family in the warmer months. Elevated decking greets you as you step outside, providing an ideal spot for al fresco dining or relaxing in the sun. Two steps down lead to a narrow concrete path, which continues to the side entrance of the property to the right, and stepping stone slabs to the left. Here you will find a greenhouse and an ideal spot for preparing plants and storing garden essentials. A good-sized lawn commands the majority of the triangular space, which is bordered by wooden fencing and bedding plants.
Back inside, the bathroom is situated at the centre of the property and is a wonderfully luxurious and modern space. Large dove grey gloss tiles adorn the walls, with slate grey tiling on the floor. A contemporary white WC and basin cabinet offer useful storage. A full-sized bath is complemented by an enclosed corner shower beside.
The first bedroom is located at the front of the property, and offers generous fitted bedroom furniture with wardrobe space, bedside cabinets, shelving and overhead units. Neutral décor and light carpet maximise the light from the good-sized window.
The second bedroom is located at the rear of the property, and also offers fitted bedroom furniture with wardrobes and overhead units. The neutral theme continues with light carpet and décor.
The third bedroom is located on the first floor, accessed via the stairs in the dining room. At the top of the stairs is a cosy nook with a fitted corner desk, ideal for use as a study, hobby room or reading corner. The bedroom is through a door on the right, enjoying attractive sloped ceilings and two large Velux windows. A further door leads to a practical ensuite WC and basin, with storage available in the eaves.
