THE PROPERTY

Set behind a dropped kerb with paved driveway providing ample off-road parking, this attractive family home enjoys a desirable position with views over a large greensward to the front and a private, unoverlooked rear garden.

Entry is via a front door into a welcoming entrance hall, from here, stairs rise to the first floor and a door to the sitting room with openings into dining room and kitchen.

To the front, the dining room features a large double-glazed bay window and a charming feature fireplace, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The sitting room, positioned at the rear, enjoys views over the garden through two double-glazed windows and also benefits from a wood-burning stove set within a fireplace.

The kitchen is fitted with a range of white wall and base units with worktops over and includes an inset stainless steel sink with drainer, space for freestanding cooker with extractor above and fridge freezer. A door leads to under-stairs pantry/storage, while a rear-facing window provides further garden views.

The kitchen opens into an inner hallway which grants further access to the front and rear of the property and continues into a well-equipped utility room with matching base units, dishwasher to remain, space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer. A ground floor WC and additional storage cupboard complete the downstairs accommodation.

Upstairs, the first-floor landing leads to three well-proportioned bedrooms. The master bedroom enjoys built-in wardrobes and two windows overlooking the rear garden. Bedroom two is another generous double with twin front-facing windows, while bedroom three also looks out over the rear.

The family bathroom comprises a panelled bath with shower over and glass screen, close-coupled WC, and pedestal wash hand basin set into a vanity unit. A heated chrome towel rail and window to the front add to the practicality.

The rear garden is a true highlight — predominantly laid to lawn with established flower beds, enclosed by wooden fencing for privacy. A paved patio provides ideal entertaining space, complemented by timber sheds and a dedicated vegetable patch, all enjoying a secluded aspect backing onto Clare Country Park.
