Property Details

This immaculate three-bedroom detached home has been thoughtfully updated and improved since 2017. On entering, a welcoming porch leads into the open-plan lounge and dining area, finished with solid oak flooring and a large front window that fills the space with natural light. French doors open out to the west-facing garden, while a feature wall adds warmth to the modern, neutral décor. A stylish sliding door connects the dining space to the sleek contemporary kitchen, refitted in 2020 with glossy units, marble-effect worktops, integrated appliances, and a superb walk-in pantry.

Upstairs, the home offers three bedrooms – two doubles and a generous single. The master bedroom is enhanced with elegant panelling and fitted wardrobes, while the second double enjoys elevated views towards the garden and rooftops. The bathroom is finished with modern tiling and features a white three-piece suite, including a P-shaped shower bath with overhead shower.

Externally, the property continues to impress. To the front, the block-paved driveway accommodates two vehicles. The rear garden has been landscaped to create tiered levels with a decked terrace, large patio, lawn, and a lower area ideal for children’s play or vegetable growing. The former garage has been adapted to provide two useful spaces – a front storage/workshop or utility area, and a fully insulated rear room, currently used as a home office, complete with electrics, Wi-Fi, and a new roof. This versatile space provides scope for work, hobbies, or exercise.
