The Approach

The property is approached via a well-maintained, tiered front garden, arranged across several levels to offer both visual interest and functional design. Finished with white-painted masonry and decorative gravel, the garden provides a low-maintenance yet attractive setting, further enhanced by tasteful planters and inset lighting that add a welcoming charm. A central flight of steps leads through the garden to the main entrance, positioned adjacent to a private driveway that offers off-road parking and direct access to the garage, complete with an up-and-over door, power and lighting. Entry into the home is through a modern composite front door with an obscured glazed side panel, opening into a bright hallway. The hallway features a staircase to the first floor and includes a built-in under-stair storage cupboard, ideal for coats, shoes, or general storage needs.

Positioned at the front of the property, the living room offers generous proportions, providing ample space for a variety of seating arrangements. A large double-glazed window allows natural light to fill the space, complemented by a radiator situated beneath to ensure year-round comfort.
