The addition of a stunning and spacious conservatory and an outbuilding in the garden have created versatile extra spaces that will appeal to a wide range of potential buyers. Below the surface, the property has been re-wired and re-plumbed and the anthracite windows and front door still have approximately eight years remaining on the warranty. The home has cavity wall and loft insulation.

Access to the home is via composite front door that opens to a porch and through a further door leading into an entrance hall. The entrance hall has Karndean flooring that runs through into the kitchen and stairs rising to the first-floor landing. There is a useful under stairs storage cupboard and doors through to the kitchen and lounge.

The lounge is spacious and filled with plenty of natural light due to the large bay window to the front elevation. This window is fitted with bespoke shutter blinds that are matched upstairs in the first and third bedrooms. The main focal point of the room is a feature fireplace set onto an angled chimney breast so typical of the Jelson built homes within the immediate area.

There are a full range of integral appliances to include a five ring induction hob with extractor over and two built-in, full size, eye-level electric self-cleaning ovens. There is also an integral fridge-freezer, dishwasher and space and plumbing for a washing machine. Off the kitchen, a former pantry cupboard has been converted into convenient WC facilities. A back door provides access to the side and rear of the home.

A set of French patio doors from the kitchen open to a magnificent conservatory. The roof has been insulated and clad which makes it feel more like an extension. The conservatory offers further reception space and has room for both lounge and dining furniture. Again, there is Karndean flooring and a further set of Patio doors that open to the garden.

To the first floor, the principal bedroom is situated toward the front of the home. A generous double room, the main bedroom has ample space for a range of freestanding wardrobes and drawers. The second bedroom is also a double and overlooks the garden. A built-in airing cupboard accommodates the boiler. The third bedroom is a versatile single room which the current owners have set up as an office space, ideal for those who work from home. This space could also be used as a dressing room if not required as a bedroom day-to-day.

At the rear is a delightful family garden with a raised patio seating area with steps dropping down to a section of lawn flanked on both sides by well stocked planted borders. At the bottom of the garden there is a second tiled patio seating area and adjacent to that a cabin that has been erected by the current owners. This cabin, which is fully insulated and has power, is currently used as an entertainment space with bar and games area. However, it could also be used as a garden office, studio space for a hobby or even a home gym.
