From the moment you arrive, this home has genuine kerb appeal. The frontage feels smart and well-kept, with a half brick-weaved, half gravelled driveway that offers plenty of space for multiple cars without ever feeling crowded. A covered porch adds a welcoming touch while also offering practical shelter and the adjoining garage/storage area provides that ever-useful extra space families are always grateful for.

The double-bay-fronted design pairs classic red brick with a rendered upper half, giving the home a balanced, charming look that never tries too hard yet stands out for all the right reasons.

Step inside and you’re met with a surprisingly generous entrance hall, wide, bright and immediately giving you the sense that this house has been thoughtfully improved over time.

Starting with the bedrooms, you’ll find three well-proportioned rooms, two of which enjoy those attractive bay windows that not only boost floor space but also draw in beautiful natural light throughout the day. Serving these rooms is a modern family bathroom fitted with stylish sanitaryware, a comfortable bath and the practicality of both a handheld shower attachment and an overhead rainfall shower, ideal whether you’re speeding through a busy morning or unwinding in the evening.

Moving through the home, you’re presented with a trio of reception spaces, each offering something a little different. The sitting room is wonderfully light thanks to its dual aspect and it centres around a cosy log burner, perfect for creating atmosphere on cooler evenings. This feature is cleverly positioned so that it also echoes through to the kitchen/dining area, helping the whole flow of the home feel connected and inviting.

The dining room opens naturally into the kitchen, making it a brilliant spot for hosting gatherings, big or small.

The kitchen itself has been finished with real care: nude cabinetry is complemented by gold accents that elevate the space without ever feeling overdone. Under-cabinet plinth lighting adds a warm, ambient glow, ideal for evenings spent cooking or relaxing. A ceramic sink with a gold tap adds another touch of elegance. Off this generous room, you’ll find a very useful utility room, always appreciated for keeping the main kitchen clutter-free, as well as a conservatory that offers yet another versatile reception area.

Outside, the garden continues the theme of space and thoughtful upkeep. It’s a great-sized plot that mirrors the interior in terms of both calmness and care. With mature trees, a maintained lawn, and a patio area perfect for outdoor dining or simply relaxing, the garden offers complete privacy, a real luxury.

It’s the kind of outdoor space that feels ready to enjoy from day one.

Perhaps the most important thing to note about this property is the level of renovation and love that has gone into it over the past five years. Every improvement has been chosen to create a warm, functional, and inviting home, and it truly shows. This is a property that’s been nurtured and elevated, ready for someone new to continue that same sense of pride and enjoyment. And with such a great location to match its charm, it really does offer a bit of everything.
