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 large double-glazed window allows natural light to fill the space, complemented by a radiator situated beneath to ensure year-round comfort. There is a neutral décor and carpet throughout the room, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
Kitchen
The kitchen is both modern and well-presented, offering a practical and attractive space for day-to-day living. It is fitted with a comprehensive range of white wall and base units, complemented by a roll-edge worktop and tiled splashbacks for easy maintenance and a clean finish. A one-and-a-half bowl composite sink with drainer is positioned beneath a rear-facing double-glazed window, providing a pleasant outlook onto the garden. The kitchen includes space for an electric cooker with an extractor hood above. It also includes under-counter provisions and plumbing for both a washing machine and dishwasher, and additional space for a freestanding fridge/freezer. The gas boiler is discreetly housed within matching cabinetry. A double-glazed rear door offers direct access to the garden. The kitchen opens into a spacious family dining area, offering ample room for a dining table. A double-glazed window overlooks the rear garden, with a radiator beneath.
Bedrooms & Bathroom
The first floor offers a practical and well-proportioned layout, comprising three bedrooms, a family bathroom, and a separate WC. The principal bedroom is a spacious double, positioned at the front of the property and benefiting from a double-glazed window providing natural light. The second bedroom, a small double, is situated at the rear. The third bedroom, also a small double, offers versatility as a guest room, nursery or home office.

A Garden to Enjoy

Alongside this is a raised patio seating area, a private and sheltered spot for al fresco dining or a morning coffee. On the second tier, you'll find an artificial lawn and cleverly concealed storage under the deck. The upper level is the highlight of the garden, a spacious and elevated decked terrace that enjoys an abundance of sunlight throughout the day. Surrounded by mature trees at the rear, this space has been beautifully designed to accommodate both lounging and entertaining. Whether used for weekend gatherings or serene sunset unwinding, this elevated area offers a rare blend of openness and privacy. In all, the garden offers a versatile and well-executed extension of the home’s living space, perfectly suited to a variety of lifestyles.
