STEP INSIDE From the moment you enter the property, this home greets you with a sense of light, openness, and welcome. Sunlight spills through expansive windows, enhancing the feeling of space and warmth throughout. The main living room is a true haven, where soft blue walls and generous glazing create a calm, airy ambience. A charming wood-burning stove promises comfort on cooler evenings, while bi-folding doors open the room directly onto the patio, making summer entertaining a breeze and blurring the boundary between indoors and out. Adjoining the living space, a dedicated dining room, currently used as a bar offers the perfect setting for both everyday family meals and more formal gatherings. The kitchen itself is a striking blend of style and practicality. Crisp white cabinetry and gleaming black worktops provide a timeless base, while a vibrant splash of orange brings a lively, contemporary edge. Overhead skylights flood the room with daylight, creating an uplifting space for cooking, entertaining, or enjoying a quiet morning coffee. Integrated appliances and cleverly designed storage solutions keep the space beautifully uncluttered.

The master bedroom is a standout feature - complete with built-in mirrored wardrobes that enhance the sense of space and light, plus a private ensuite finished to a high standard for a touch of luxury. The remaining bedrooms are neutrally styled and ready for personalisation, while the bathroom boast modern suites and elegant tiling. 

STEP OUTSIDE Outside, the property enjoys a fully enclosed garden that offers both privacy and practicality. A generous patio provides the perfect setting for al fresco dining, summer barbecues, or simply unwinding with evening drinks beneath the stars. The garden is predominantly laid to lawn, framed by low-maintenance flower beds that add colour and charm without demanding extensive upkeep.
To the front, off-road parking ensures everyday convenience, while the wooden panel fencing around the perimeter offers security and peace of mind - ideal for pet owners.
