The home opens into a central hallway with access to all main living spaces. The sitting room is a generous space, finished with wooden flooring, light neutral walls and wide glazed doors that lead directly to the conservatory. There’s ample room for multiple seating layouts and furniture, and the connection between the main room and the conservatory offers a seamless link to the outdoors.

The conservatory itself is bright and welcoming, surrounded by garden views and large enough to accommodate seating or dining furniture. Finished in PVC framing with a polycarbonate roof, it creates a peaceful space to enjoy the setting in all seasons.

The kitchen and dining area is finished with wood-toned cabinets, dark acrylic worktops and grey tiled splashbacks. A central island features a decorative overhead light, while ceiling spotlights keep the space bright and functional.

The shower room is a large bright room, fitted with a corner cubicle housing a mains-fed shower. A white toilet and basin are positioned separately, with a built-in storage unit on the opposite wall for added practicality. The room is tiled throughout for easy maintenance.

All three bedrooms are good-sized doubles, each with neutral finishes. Two of the rooms feature large built-in wardrobes, while the third includes a small cupboard for additional storage. Radiators and windows are positioned to make each room feel light and practical.

Externally, the home sits on an irregular-shaped sloping plot, extending to around 0.75 acres. The grounds are mostly laid to lawn, with mature trees, shrubs and flowering borders adding privacy and colour. Gravel and paved pathways connect key areas of the garden, and timber decking to the rear provides additional outdoor seating space. Outbuildings include a detached single-car garage with a pitched roof and metal up-and-over door, a timber lean-to shed and a second timber storage shed with felt-clad pitched roof. There is pedestrian and vehicle access and the garden is surrounded mainly by timber fencing.

Heating is provided by a Grant Aerona 3 air-to-water heat pump system, connected to water-filled radiators throughout. The system also supplies domestic hot water. Twelve PV panels are mounted on the south-facing roof slope, with battery storage installed in the loft to support energy efficiency and reduce running costs.

With solar panels, air source heating and generous rooms throughout, it’s a smart, long-term option for buyers seeking space and seclusion without sacrificing convenience. Viewings are strongly recommended to appreciate everything this property offers.
