Description

The property is approached via a stone-chipped driveway, bordered by established, colourful shrubs and bushes, offering parking space for several vehicles. The front door opens into a porch with slate tiled flooring, which leads into a welcoming entrance hallway. From here, doors lead to the ground floor accommodation, and a staircase rises to the first floor.

The lounge/diner is a spacious, dual-purpose reception room that spans the full depth of the property. It is bathed in natural light from a large front-facing window overlooking the front drive, with additional light streaming in from the adjoining conservatory. The room’s size and layout provide a flexible arrangement, ideal for a growing family.

From the dining area, double doors lead into the conservatory extension, offering a versatile additional living space. This bright and airy room boasts views of the garden and provides direct access to outdoor areas, perfect for enjoying the surrounding scenery.

The kitchen features sleek white gloss soft-close storage units, complemented by a solid worktop that extends around the room, offering plenty of space for food preparation. Integrated into the worktop is a  single drainer sink with mixer tap and a four-ring gas hob. The kitchen also includes integrated appliances such as an electric double oven and grill, fridge, freezer, and dishwasher, providing convenience and modern functionality.

Completing the ground floor is the family bathroom, which is fitted with a  three-piece suite, including a bath with a wall-mounted shower, WC, and pedestal basin, finished with full-height tiling.

The first-floor accommodation comprises three bedrooms. The master bedroom is a generously sized double, featuring built-in wardrobes and an en-suite shower room. The en-suite includes a shower cubicle with a wall-mounted shower, WC, and wash hand basin with vanity storage beneath. A cupboard within the room also houses the combi-boiler.

The second bedroom is a spacious double, positioned at the front of the property, offering picturesque views over the green and towards the open fields and countryside beyond. This room also benefits from a fitted storage cupboard. The third bedroom is a good-sized single, overlooking the rear garden, providing a peaceful and private space.

Outside, the property boasts a deceptively spacious and diverse garden, fully enclosed by a fenced boundary. A large paved patio seating area provides ample space for tables and chairs, making it ideal for alfresco dining and entertaining. The patio leads onto a lawn garden surrounded by mature shrubs, bushes, and trees, offering a peaceful and private outdoor space.

In addition, there is a stone-chipped garden area with planted borders and fruit beds, featuring raspberry, strawberry, and blackberry plants. A hardstanding area provides space for a timber shed.
