Offered to the market with no onward chain, the property provides a straightforward route to ownership—ideal for those looking to move swiftly. Inside, the accommodation includes three well-proportioned double bedrooms, perfectly suited to family living, flexible working, or visiting guests. The dual-aspect sitting room is particularly generous, bathed in natural light and offering a comfortable, versatile space for both relaxing and entertaining.

Externally, the sizeable rear garden provides a wealth of potential—whether for future extension (subject to planning), creative landscaping, or simply enjoying the open space. The rear outlook across neighbouring fields enhances the sense of seclusion, while still being connected to the village and its friendly community.
