Stepping inside, the entrance hall sets a welcoming tone and provides access through to all main areas of the home, arranged across a practical single-level layout. A generously built-in storage cupboard sits neatly within the hallway, offering excellent space for coats, household items, and everyday essentials.

Positioned to the rear, the lounge offers comfortable proportions and is finished with carpeted flooring throughout. A feature fireplace with a timber surround and inset fire forms a natural focal point within the room. Double doors open directly onto the garden, allowing natural light to flow into the space while creating a direct connection with the outdoor area. Open plan access leads through to the kitchen, supporting an easy and well-connected layout.

Flowing from the lounge, the kitchen is neatly fitted with a range of wall and base units finished in a light, neutral tone, complemented by wood-effect work surfaces and tiled splashbacks. An integrated hob is set neatly into the work surface, paired with an eye-level oven positioned within the cabinetry. A new cooker installed in late 2024 adds further convenience for everyday use. A window above the sink brings in natural light and enhances the sense of space.

Both bedrooms are comfortable doubles, finished with carpeted flooring and each benefiting from built-in wardrobes which provide excellent storage without compromising floor space. The layout supports straightforward day-to-day living and suits a variety of needs.

The bathroom, refurbished in 2020, features a panelled bath and separate shower enclosure, alongside a wash basin set within storage and a WC. Tiled flooring and wall finishes frame the space neatly, with a window allowing natural ventilation and light.

Outside, the rear garden is fully enclosed and arranged for ease of maintenance. A paved terrace sits directly outside the lounge doors, with gravelled sections and established planting beyond. Gated access leads through to a driveway providing secure off-road parking within the grounds of the property.

Set back from the road, the front of the home features low-level hedging and planting, with a paved approach leading to the entrance and contributing to a tidy, well-kept setting.

The property also benefits from solar panels, generating approximately £734 of tax-free income during 2024 and approximately £870 projected for 2025, with a tax-free feed-in tariff in place until 2034, offering an ongoing income stream alongside reduced energy costs.
