Lets Look Inside - This five bedroom home has been cleverly reconfigured and extended to offer a versatile layout ideal for large or multi-generational families. On the ground floor, a bright porch creates a practical entrance for outdoor shoes and coats before leading into the spacious living room. The living room is a central hub, complete with laminate flooring, a feature gas fireplace, and French doors opening onto the garden, perfect for summer entertaining. The adjoining kitchen diner is both stylish and practical, benefitting from dual-aspect windows, vinyl tile flooring, and ample space for a family dining table. The showpiece of the kitchen is the impressive seven-ring gas range cooker with four ovens, making hosting large gatherings a joy. Beyond the kitchen, a vestibule provides space for household appliances, a WC, and access to the converted outhouse – now a generous double bedroom overlooking the garden. To the other side of the house, the converted garage has been transformed into a double-height bedroom with built-in cupboards and its own ensuite, a bright and spacious retreat thanks to the high ceiling and large window on the front aspect. Upstairs, there are three further bedrooms – two comfortable doubles with built-in storage and a single room, ideal as a nursery, office, or hobby space. A family bathroom with a bath and overhead shower, plus a separate WC, completes the upstairs, with an attic above offering part-boarded storage and lighting.

Step Outside - The outside space at Lime Avenue is designed to be as practical as it is enjoyable, catering for busy family life as well as summer entertaining. To the front of the property, a driveway offers off-road parking and enhances the home’s welcoming presence on this peaceful residential street. At the rear, the garden is a highlight, with a generous lawn providing plenty of space for children and pets to play safely. A covered patio seating area directly accessible via French doors makes a fantastic spot for BBQs, outdoor dining, or simply relaxing in the warmer months. The garden is enclosed with fencing, ensuring security and privacy, and a garden shed provides useful storage for tools, toys, or equipment.
