The lounge is a comfortable bay-fronted room with exposed floorboards continuing through from the hallway, fitted with built-in storage to the far wall recesses, and retaining period coving.

The centre piece of this tremendous property is undoubtedly the kitchen/living space. Extended substantially by the owners in 2014, this is a expansive open-plan room with tri-folding doors leading to the garden, large skylights as well as a side aspect window ensuring natural light flooding the space through much of the day. Wooden flooring is complemented by a smart white kitchen with wooden worktops and integrated appliances including an electric hob, electric oven, dishwasher and fridge/freezer. A handy utility cupboard completes this floor.

Bedrooms one and two are both a well-sized double rooms, bedroom one being a bay-fronted room with picture rails and original door retained. Bedroom two meanwhile is currently used as the master bedroom, and benefits from wardrobes built into the recesses of the far wall as well as retained original fireplace and a view of the rear garden. The third bedroom is a single room, ideal as a study, children's bedroom or guest bedroom.

A smartly presented wet room with a choice of grey and white tiles is fitted with a walk-in shower, separate bath, basin and WC.

External - One of the many attractive features of this property is the garden; a southerly-facing space and reasonably level. Accessible directly from the kitchen/diner via tri-folding doors, the garden is divided between a decked area and a large lawn area.

At the front of the property there is parking for multiple cars, and access to the garage. The garage comfortably accommodates a modern car, and to the rear also provides access to the rear garden.

Vendor's Comments - "Our much-loved family home has been a wonderful place for us to enjoy a happy and settled life. The street is full of friendly families, many with strong ties to local schools, making it a lovely and welcoming community. One of our fondest memories is the Jubilee street party we celebrated right outside with our fantastic neighbour.

Over the years, we’ve made thoughtful additions to the house to enhance both space and comfort. The open-plan dining area is perfect for hosting friends and family, and when the full-length doors are opened in the summer, the sun-soaked garden becomes an ideal spot to unwind. With the added bonus of not being directly overlooked, it’s been a peaceful retreat for us.

The large side garage has been incredibly useful, giving us flexibility for both car parking and extra storage. Inside, the house has always felt warm and inviting. In winter, the heated bathroom floor is a little everyday luxury that makes showering feel extra cosy.

This home has been the perfect place for us to start and grow our family, and we hope it brings as much happiness to its next owners as it has to us."
