On entering, you’re greeted by a spacious full-width living room, where high ceilings enhance the sense of space and a charming feature chimney breast with fitted alcove cupboards adds character and warmth.

Towards the rear, a recently upgraded high quality Wren kitchen showcases a stylish range of classic shaker-style units, a central breakfast bar, and modern fitted appliances. The ground floor also benefits from a contemporary white bathroom, recently refitted with a modern suite.

Upstairs continues the home’s bright and characterful feel, featuring high ceilings, exposed timber floorboards, and an abundance of natural light. There are three bedrooms on this level, two generous doubles and a particularly spacious single bedroom.
