There are two well-presented reception rooms on the ground floor, with the sitting room at the front featuring ceiling cornicing and a large window filling the space with natural light. The dining room at the rear is decorated with similar neutral tones to the sitting room and provides space for a family dining table looking out on to the garden. The bright, well-equipped kitchen is also located to the rear of the ground floor and features modern fitted units to base and wall level, providing plenty of storage space. There are also tiled splashbacks, an integrated oven, induction hob and extractor hood, a stainless steel sink, dishwasher and boiler cupboard. Adjoining the kitchen, the utility room provides further fitted storage and washing machine, as well as opening directly onto the rear gardens.

There is under-stairs storage in the entrance hall, with the staircase leading to a bright, West-facing landing. Of the bedrooms, two are doubles of similar proportions, while the third is a single which is ideal for use as a nursery or study. The first floor also has the family bathroom with its over-bath shower, glass shower guard and floor-to-ceiling tiling. The layout and position of the property make it ideal for extending as neighbouring properties have done, subject to the necessary consents.
