The property is approached via unrestricted on-road parking, with a gated path leading through a neat lawn front garden to the front door and wrapping round to the rear. 

Inside, a welcoming hallway with coat hooks and softly lit stairs sets the tone for this inviting home. To the right, the lounge is filled with natural light and centres around a charming multi-fuel stove, perfect for cosy evenings. Fitted shelving adds character and a handy under-stairs cupboard provides everyday storage.

The heart of the home is the extended kitchen/diner, designed with family life in mind. Beautifully fitted with soft grey cabinetry and generous worktops, incorporating a one-and-a-half stainless steel sink with mixer tap and a five-ring gas hob. Integrated appliances include a double oven, combination microwave oven/grill, fridge, freezer and dishwasher. Patio doors draw in the garden views and open onto the outdoor space, while there’s plenty of room for a dining table to gather with family and friends. A wood-burning stove (available separately) adds extra warmth and charm. For convenience, the ground floor also features a WC and utility area with space for laundry appliances.

Upstairs, the landing leads to three well-presented bedrooms and the family bathroom. The master suite is a real highlight, featuring a vaulted ceiling and glazed patio doors with a Juliet balcony that overlooks the rear garden.
