The home opens to a welcoming porch, with natural light setting the tone from the outset. A ground-floor WC sits just off the entrance for added ease, particularly useful when hosting or managing the morning routine. The sitting room feels open and comfortable, anchored by a traditional fireplace that lends warmth in the winter months and a natural focal point year-round. There’s space here to unwind at the end of the day, as well as gather with friends without feeling over-specified or styled to a single way of living.

The dining room sits adjacent, offering an easy venue for low-key meals, weekend breakfasts and the kind of easy get-togethers that come from a layout that prioritises flow rather than formality. From here, the kitchen is a natural next step, fitted with modern cabinetry, integrated oven and useful under-counter areas ready for your own appliances, keeping the space current, functional and uncluttered.

Upstairs, three bedrooms provide the right split of comfort and privacy, whether used as sleeping space, home working, storage or future adaptation. The family bathroom features a clean-lined, modern three-piece suite with a considered balance of practicality and style.

Outside, the garden is a clear highlight, larger than the average plot and designed for daily enjoyment rather than seasonal upkeep. A patio offers a calm spot for outdoor seating, gravel fire-pit evenings or summer BBQs, while the maintained lawn and mature planting beds frame the space naturally. The timber shed adds storage without imposing on the layout, supporting bikes, garden equipment or hobbies. A private driveway provides off-road parking for multiple vehicles.
