the property 

Set well back from the road, this charming home enjoys a pleasant frontage with a private driveway providing ample parking for multiple vehicles. Nestled behind a well-tended front garden, the property offers both immediate comfort and exciting potential for modernisation and extension, making it ideal for growing families or those seeking flexible living space.

Upon entering, you’re welcomed by a spacious hallway that leads into a well-appointed kitchen situated at the front of the home. This bright and functional space enjoys views over the attractive front garden and provides a pleasant environment for everyday cooking. A convenient downstairs WC is also located just off the hallway.

To the rear of the property, a large, light-filled living room serves as the heart of the home, featuring an electric fireplace as a warm focal point. With ample space for both seating and entertaining, it’s the perfect setting for cosy evenings or social gatherings. The living room opens into a conservatory extension, which offers valuable additional living space. This area holds great scope for enhancement—whether upgrading the existing structure or replacing it with a full brick-built extension (subject to permissions)—to create an even more substantial family room or open-plan space.

The former garage has been thoughtfully converted and is accessible via the conservatory. This versatile room benefits from its own secure access to both the front and rear of the property, making it ideal as a home office, gym, playroom, or even a downstairs bedroom for multi-generational living or guest accommodation.

Upstairs, the home features three well-proportioned bedrooms and a modern family bathroom. The interiors have been lovingly maintained, offering a clean and inviting feel throughout while also providing ample opportunity for the new owner to update and personalise to their own tastes.

To the rear, the property boasts a pretty and secure garden—ideal for children and pets—with a patio seating area perfect for outdoor dining and relaxation. A garden shed offers useful storage for tools and equipment.

With its pleasant and manageable plot, flexible layout, and scope for extension or renovation, this is a superb opportunity to secure a home with real potential in a desirable and convenient location.

All in all this is a special home....But please do not just take my word for it, browse the photos, watch the video tour and then if you think this could be the home for you, please get in touch to arrange a viewing.
