Upstairs you will find two good sized double bedrooms, the front of which featuring a bay window that takes in the park views, with the rear bedroom taking in an attractive view of the garden. The third bedroom is ideal for use as a study/home office or child’s nursery. The family refitted bathroom has been refitted with a contemporary white suite comprising P-shaped bath with shower over and Crittal-style shower screen, WC and wash hand basin, all complemented by striking, subway tiles.

Outside - Set back from the road with a deep front drive, you will find ample parking with access to EV charging point wiring (no charger) beside the lawn, which could be landscaped to provide further parking. A passage, via gates to the side leads to the detached garage that provides secure storage, and the garden beyond. The garage benefits from an upgraded power supply, as our clients have used it as a workshop. The rear garden is largely laid to lawn, with bedding borders and areas for growing fruit/vegetables. There is sufficient depth to the garden to create areas for all members of the family to enjoy, with space for seating/dining, relaxing and space for play.
