Description

Upon entering the property, you’re welcomed into an enclosed porch laid with exposed wood flooring and with hooks for coats and outerwear. The exposed wooden flooring continues seamlessly into the adjoining hallway, which provides access to the lounge, kitchen/diner, and cloakroom. A staircase directly ahead leads to the first floor.

The lounge is a generous reception space that spans the full depth of the home and is flooded with natural light from dual-aspect windows, one of which features a charming window seat overlooking the rear garden. The room features exposed timber beams and a gas fire, set within a cast iron and decorative tiled inset with a wooden surround, creates a warm focal point for the room.

The kitchen/diner also runs the full depth of the property, offering a generous and sociable space ideal for family dining and entertaining. It features a range of wooden storage cupboards and a complementary two-sided worktop that incorporates a stainless steel sink with mixer tap. There’s space for a range cooker and an upright fridge freezer.

A door off the kitchen provides stepped access down to the basement which has been dived to create a large storage area and utility room, with fitted worktop, sink and plumbing for a washing machine. There is also integral access to the garage, which can accommodate a single vehicle or alternatively storage. 

A door from the kitchen leads down to the basement, which has been divided into a practical storage area and separate utility room, complete with fitted worktop, sink, and plumbing for a washing machine. The basement also provides integral access to the garage, suitable for one vehicle or additional storage.

The first floor offers access to three well-proportioned bedrooms and the family bathroom. The master bedroom, positioned at the front of the property, is a spacious and comfortable room with ample space for freestanding wardrobes. It also benefits from a private en-suite shower room, providing added convenience. Bedrooms two and three are both generous double rooms with contrasting outlooks, one facing the front, the other the rear, and each offers space for freestanding wardrobes and drawers. The family bathroom is well-appointed, featuring a bath with handheld shower attachment, a separate shower enclosure with wall-mounted shower, a WC, and a pedestal basin.

Stairs rise to the second floor, where two further spacious double bedrooms are located. The fourth bedroom extends the full depth of the property and offers ample space for a double bed, sofa, and freestanding wardrobes. This versatile room also benefits from a private en-suite shower room, adding flexibility and privacy for guests or older children. The fifth bedroom is another generously sized double, featuring space for both a bed and seating area. Built-in wardrobes along the eaves provide useful storage while maximizing floor space.

To the rear of the property is a well-maintained lawned garden bordered by established shrubs, bushes, and mature trees, creating a private and attractive outdoor space. A large gravelled area offers off-road parking for multiple vehicles or can alternatively serve as a generous seating or entertaining space. There are two hardstanding areas suitable for timber sheds, and gated access leads directly onto Station Road for added convenience.
