Set behind a charming gated courtyard with stone chippings and tarmac, this welcoming semi-detached home offers a tranquil setting with space for outdoor seating and potted plants. The front door opens into a spacious and inviting hallway, with access to both the lounge and kitchen/diner.

The lounge is a naturally bright and generously sized reception room, bathed in sunlight from a box bay window overlooking the courtyard. A remote-controlled gas fire provides a cosy focal point, flanked by two recessed alcoves ideal for display or storage furniture.

To the rear of the home, the open-plan kitchen/diner spans the full width of the property and creates a sociable space for cooking, dining, and entertaining. Glazed patio doors seamlessly connect to the rear garden. The kitchen is fitted with a range of storage units and a three-sided worktop offering ample preparation space. Integrated appliances include a four-ring electric hob, a double oven/grill, and under-counter space for a fridge and dishwasher, as well as plumbing for a washing machine. A cupboard within the dining area houses the boiler.

Off the kitchen is a rear porch providing access to the family bathroom and an external door leading to the rear garden and front courtyard. The bathroom is fitted with a four-piece suite, comprising a bath, separate shower enclosure with a wall-mounted electric shower, WC, and a wash basin with vanity storage below.

Upstairs, the landing leads to three bedrooms and provides access via a drop-down ladder to a fully boarded loft, complete with a Velux roof light.

The master bedroom spans the full width of the property and enjoys pleasant views across the sports field. It features two built-in wardrobes extending over the staircase.
