Stepping under the vestibule at the side of the house, we push open the front door where the style and architecture of this 'Mock Tudor' home continues to delight. The entrance hall greets us and the wide timber staircase rise to the first floor whilst doors open to the ground floor living space and guest bedroom. Set to the front of the property, we find the sitting room spanning the width of the house, a large bay window and two further windows fill the room with natural light whilst a cast iron fireplace offers a cosy focal point to the room. Across the hall we find the guest bedroom again enjoying a bay window and feature fireplace, this versatile space would make a superb snug or home office. Stepping into the rear of the house we enter the 'hub' of the home, the spacious family/dining room flows open plan into the kitchen/breakfast room which in-turn opens to the gardens via French doors. Tiled flooring flows throughout the two rooms whilst in the kitchen area the vaulted ceiling enjoys a Velux roof window filling the two spaces with natural light. A wood burner is set to the fireplace in the family/dining room whilst the kitchen is fitted with a range of solid wood fronted units set against contrasting work surfaces. A single door leads to outside and at the rear we step into the utility room which leads through to the ground floor lavatory. Climbing the stairs we step onto the spacious landing where a door opens to the delightful balcony that spans the front of the home. The master bedroom is set to the front aspect and offers a substantial double room with fitted cupboards whilst at the rear a second double bedroom enjoys the garden views. A cupboard houses the modern gas combination boiler whilst both bedrooms enjoy feature cast iron fireplaces. Completing the accommodation the bathroom is set at the head of the landing and echoes the space found throughout and is fitted with a bath, separate shower, wash basin and w/c.

At the rear the garden is fully enclosed and boasts a large patio area leading from the French doors in the kitchen/breakfast room, providing the perfect spot for summer entertaining and enjoying the afternoon and evening sun.
