The Approach

The property is approached via a block-paved driveway, with steps leading from the garage to a paved front patio area that also provides side access to the rear garden. Entry is granted through a double-glazed door into the reception hallway, where a stained-glass effect side window adds character and natural light. The hallway is finished with engineered wood flooring, which continues seamlessly to the inner hall. From the reception hallway, the staircase rises to the first floor, while the under-stair area has been thoughtfully utilised to create a practical cloakroom.

Living & Entertaining

At the front of the property lies a well-proportioned living room, enhanced by a walk-in double-glazed bay window that frames a delightful outlook across the surrounding area, owing to the home’s elevated position. A Minster-style fireplace with a living flame gas fire provides an elegant focal point, complemented by coving, a radiator, and a television point. To the rear, the dining room presents a refined space for formal occasions and everyday family use alike. Featuring a distinctive timber-clad statement wall with a large inset mirror, the room is both stylish and versatile. Open access to the kitchen enhances its practicality, and a set of pendant ceiling lights positioned above ensure the space is perfectly suited to a family dining table and entertaining.

Kitchen & Practical Spaces

The modern kitchen has been thoughtfully remodelled by the current owners, with a roof lantern skylight set within a timber-clad ceiling and finished with spotlighting. A tasteful combination of woodgrain-effect and sleek matte cabinetry is paired with roll-edge countertops and tiled splashbacks, creating a stylish yet practical design. A Belfast sink is positioned beneath twin double-glazed rear windows, with an integrated dishwasher conveniently placed alongside. Additional features include an integrated oven, gas hob with extractor hood, and a recess designed to house a large freestanding fridge/freezer. A breakfast bar seating area, tiled flooring, and a double-glazed door to the rear garden complete this attractive space. From the inner hallway, a versatile snug area enjoys natural light from two double-glazed windows and provides access to a utility cupboard. This practical addition offers space and plumbing for a washing machine beneath the wall-mounted gas boiler.

First Floor Bedrooms & Bathroom Suites

The first floor is approached via a generous landing, lit by a stained-glass effect side window. This level features three bedrooms: a spacious double with fitted wardrobes and French doors opening to a private roof terrace; a second double with a large bay window enjoying elevated views; and a third single bedroom currently arranged as a study, benefitting from built-in over-stair storage. Completing this level is a sizeable and contemporary bathroom suite with full wall and floor tiling, obscured double glazed windows, and a layout that includes partitioned WC, bath with shower over, pedestal basin, radiator, and heated towel rail.

Top Floor Bedroom

A further staircase rises to the top floor, where the fourth bedroom occupies the entire level. Character features such as exposed beams and a brick accent wall create a warm and inviting atmosphere, while practical elements include a Velux window, built-in cupboards, and useful eaves storage. This versatile double room offers flexibility as a principal bedroom, guest suite, or hobby space.

Gardens & Outdoor Areas

To the front, the property enjoys an elevated position with a retaining wall enclosing a loose stone front garden with a planted palm tree and landscaping border. A block-paved driveway provides off-street parking for two vehicles and leads to the garage, which benefits from double doors, lighting, and power, and is currently used as a workshop. From the driveway, steps ascend to the front entrance and side access to the rear garden. The rear garden is a particular highlight, offering an expansive and thoughtfully arranged outdoor space. A raised decked terrace provides an excellent area for alfresco dining and entertaining, complemented by landscaped planting beds that bring seasonal colour and interest. Additional sections of the garden provide further seating areas and scope for outdoor activities, creating a versatile and private setting that serves as a natural extension of the home.
