Stepping through the front door, a small enclosed entry porch provides a useful buffer from the outdoors before opening into the main hallway. This central space has a natural flow, guiding you easily towards the living areas to the left and the bedrooms and bathroom to the right, giving the home a comfortable, well-balanced layout. While the property has been well cared for over the years, some areas would now benefit from updating, offering an excellent opportunity for a new owner to make the home their own.

To the left, the living room is a warm and inviting space, beautifully proportioned for everyday relaxation and entertaining. A large window brings in soft natural light, complemented by the room’s gentle, neutral tones. There is ample room for multiple seating arrangements, as demonstrated by the generous corner sofas currently in place, while the remaining wall space allows flexibility for furniture placement without compromising the openness of the room. A feature fireplace forms an elegant focal point, framed by a patterned statement wall that adds character and depth to the space. This sense of comfort is enhanced by the room’s outlook towards the adjoining sunroom, which is reached through glazed double doors positioned at the far end of the room. It is a space designed for both quiet evenings and sociable gatherings, offering a relaxed and homely atmosphere.

Flowing directly from the living room, the sunroom is a wonderfully bright and uplifting space, framed by full-height glazing that captures far-reaching views and allows light to pour in throughout the day. The pitched glazed roof enhances the sense of openness, creating an airy, garden-facing retreat that can be enjoyed year-round. The room comfortably accommodates a pair of seating arrangements, with plenty of scope for a small dining set or additional lounge furniture depending on how you wish to use the space. Its neutral finishes and tiled floor make it an easy, low-maintenance extension of the main living area perfect for morning coffee, quiet reading, or simply taking in the changing seasons from the comfort of indoors. A door at the rear opens directly out to the garden, strengthening the connection between home and outdoor living and making this a particularly inviting spot during the warmer months.

From the living room, a door leads through to the kitchen, which stretches the full length of this side of the property. This wonderfully practical space serves as both a cooking area and an everyday dining spot. A wide window above the sink draws in natural light and offers a pleasant outlook over the garden, brightening the room throughout the day. Well-fitted cabinetry provides generous storage, complemented by extensive worktop space that makes meal preparation feel effortless. The layout accommodates a full range of appliances with ease, while the far end of the room provides ample space for a family dining table, creating a sociable setting for breakfasts, relaxed evening meals, or catching up with friends over coffee. A door opens into the useful side passage, offering a practical route outdoors ideal for bringing in shopping, storing muddy boots, or accessing the garden. As with other parts of the home, the kitchen presents scope for modernisation to suit contemporary tastes.

Returning to the hallway, the principal bedroom sits to the right. This is a wonderfully bright and inviting space, enhanced by a wide window that frames attractive elevated views across the surrounding area. The natural light here is particularly lovely, giving the room a soft, restful feel throughout the day. Generous in proportion, the room accommodates a double or king-size bed with ease, along with bedside tables and additional furnishings without feeling crowded. A full wall of fitted wardrobes provides exceptional storage, incorporating hanging space, shelving, and a central dressing area with built-in drawers and a mirror an elegant and practical solution that keeps the room feeling calm and uncluttered. With its gentle décor, plush carpeting, and peaceful outlook, the room offers a serene retreat, though future owners may wish to update finishes in line with their own style.

Bedroom two, also accessed from the hallway, is a comfortable and well-proportioned room, ideal as a guest bedroom, a child’s room, or a generous home office. A wide window brings in plenty of natural light and overlooks the rear of the property, giving the room a pleasant and peaceful feel. There is ample space for a double bed, bedside furniture, and additional storage, while the fitted wardrobes with mirrored sliding doors provide excellent built-in capacity and help reflect light around the room, enhancing the sense of space. The soft décor and warm carpeting create a calm, welcoming atmosphere, with the room offering further potential for cosmetic updating if desired.

The bathroom is conveniently positioned off the central hallway and serves both bedrooms with ease. Currently arranged with a full-sized bathtub and overhead electric shower, it offers a practical and functional space for everyday use. Soft, neutral tiling runs throughout, giving the room a warm, cohesive feel, while the frosted window draws in natural light and ensures privacy. Built-in cabinetry provides helpful storage for toiletries and essentials, keeping the space tidy and organised. As with other areas of the property, the bathroom presents an excellent opportunity for modernisation, allowing a new owner to refresh the space to suit their own style and preferences.

Outside- The property enjoys a generous wraparound plot that provides a choice of seating areas and plenty of scope for landscaping to suit your own preferences. Directly from the sunroom, a raised patio creates a sheltered, sun-catching spot—ideal for outdoor dining or simply relaxing with views across the surrounding rooftops and countryside. The tiered layout incorporates further paved and planted areas, offering opportunities for container gardening or the creation of additional seating zones. To the front and side, a wide expanse of block paving provides excellent off-road parking for several vehicles, making the property particularly convenient for households with multiple cars or visiting guests which leads to the garage. The open aspect and ample turning space add to the practicality of the plot, while the paved layout keeps maintenance to a minimum. As with the interior, the outdoor spaces offer fantastic potential for enhancement. Whether you envision more formal planting, additional terracing, or a landscaped garden retreat, the plot provides a flexible canvas ready to be shaped to your needs.
