Why You’ll Like It:
The home’s attractive red-brick façade hints at the charm within. A pretty front garden leads to a welcoming hallway, setting the tone for the light, well-balanced interior.

To the front, the sitting room features a bay window and a classic fireplace, offering a relaxing retreat. The separate dining room provides ample space for family meals or entertaining friends, with views through to the garden and easy access to the kitchen.

At the rear, the kitchen has been tastefully modernised with deep teal metro-tiles, wooden worktops, and a white ceramic sink — balancing style with practicality. A window over the sink captures garden views, and a door opens directly onto the sunny decked patio, perfect for summer dining.

Upstairs, two double bedrooms include a generous principal bedroom spanning the full width of the house, and a second bright double with garden views. The bathroom is modern yet classic, with clean lines and natural light.
The loft has been converted into a versatile, bright space with exposed brick, Velux windows, and eaves storage — ideal for a study, music room or creative hideaway.

Outside, the low-maintenance garden faces south and catches the sun throughout the day. Framed by painted walls and mature planting, it’s a tranquil extension of the home.
