THE PROPERTY

Upon entering, you’ll find a bright and inviting entrance hallway. A staircase leads you to the first floor, while the hallway also grants access to the downstairs living spaces.

To the rear, the impressive open-plan kitchen, living, and dining area is the heart of the home, designed to offer a perfect setting for family life and entertaining. The room is centred around a chimney breast and features bi-fold doors that open onto the garden, blending indoor and outdoor living seamlessly.

The kitchen is well-equipped with a comprehensive range of wall-mounted and floor-standing units, complemented by work surfaces, a tiled splashback, and an inset sink. It boasts a gas hob with an extractor fan, as well as space for a washing machine and dishwasher. A contrasting wood-fitted raised breakfast bar adds to the functionality and appeal of the space.

The cosy sitting area, with its central multi-fuel log burner, is the perfect retreat, offering warmth and a relaxing atmosphere, while still enjoying open views over the garden.

From the entrance hallway, you’ll find three well-proportioned bedrooms and the family bathroom. The first bedroom, located centrally within the property, is a spacious double with ample room for furniture and a window offering a side aspect.

The second bedroom, situated at the front, also provides a comfortable space, while the third, currently used as a home office, overlooks the front of the property.

The family bathroom on this level includes a modern double walk-in shower, a wall-hung WC, a wash hand basin, a towel radiator, and an obscure window.

Upstairs, the first floor comprises two generous double bedrooms, each with walk-in wardrobes, plenty of storage space, and ample room for bedroom furniture.

One bedroom overlooks the front of the property and features both a window and a Velux roof window. The second bedroom, equally spacious, overlooks the rear garden and also benefits from a Velux window.

The first-floor bathroom, which serves both bedrooms, includes a stunning free standing bath, WC, and wash hand basin. The room is fully tiled and includes a window for natural light.

OUTSIDE

To the front of the property, there is plenty of off-road parking, with low-maintenance gravel surrounding the area and extending along the side of the property.

Double gates lead you to the rear garden, which is primarily laid to lawn, offering a wonderful space for outdoor activities. A raised decking area directly off the back of the house, accessible through the bi-fold doors, creates a fantastic space for al fresco dining and entertaining. Towards the rear of the garden, there is a sun patio, while the adjacent side offers low-maintenance gravel, additional storage space, and a shed currently in place.
