This is a lovely, well-laid-out home arranged over two floors, with a layout that feels easy and natural as you move from room to room. You step into a welcoming central hallway, spacious enough to feel open rather than narrow, with doors leading off to the main living areas and stairs rising to the first floor, neatly separating day-to-day living from the bedrooms above.

To the left, the living room is a generous, inviting space with a great sense of warmth. Its length allows for distinct seating areas, so you can easily arrange a large sofa, armchairs and a media unit without it ever feeling overcrowded. The bay window at the front brings in plenty of natural light and makes an ideal spot for a reading chair, while the wood-effect flooring adds a practical yet homely finish.The exposed brick fireplace with its timber mantle is a real focal point, adding character and texture. It gives the room a cosy feel, especially on cooler evenings, and the brick feature wall at the far end adds depth and a subtle contemporary edge. Side windows keep the space bright throughout the day, and the open feel towards the adjoining area makes it perfect for both quiet nights in and entertaining friends.

Across the hallway, the second reception room is currently set up as a home office and hobby space, showing just how adaptable it is. The bay window again draws in plenty of light, creating a bright and pleasant working environment. There’s ample space for a full-sized desk, shelving and additional seating, and the proportions mean it never feels cramped. Equally, this room would make a fantastic dining room, with space for a substantial table within the bay and room along the walls for a sideboard or display cabinet. It could just as easily serve as a snug, playroom or additional lounge, depending on your needs.

To the rear, the kitchen/diner is a bright and sociable space overlooking the garden. Glazed double doors open directly outside, making it ideal for summer dining and allowing light to flood in. The cabinetry runs in an L-shape along two walls, providing plenty of storage and worktop space. Shaker-style units paired with wooden work surfaces and neutral tiled splashbacks create a timeless, welcoming feel. There is room for a range-style cooker, with appliances neatly integrated to keep the space streamlined. Two windows above the worktops add even more light, and open shelving offers a place to display glassware or personal touches. Beyond the main run of units, there’s space for a dining table, comfortably fitting a four-seater set. Positioned near the exposed brick chimney breast, this area feels cosy and connected ideal for everyday meals or relaxed weekend brunches.

At the end of the hallway, the ground floor shower room is both practical and well presented. A corner shower enclosure makes smart use of the space, while a frosted window allows natural light in without compromising privacy. The pedestal basin and WC are neatly arranged, and the neutral finishes keep the room feeling bright and airy. It’s perfectly placed for guests or for busy mornings.

Upstairs, the landing leads to two generous double bedrooms and a spacious bathroom. The principal bedroom is a calm, comfortable retreat set beneath the sloping roofline, which adds character without limiting usable space. A central window provides a pleasant outlook, while a large skylight brings in additional natural light, giving the room an airy feel. There’s ample space for a double or king-size bed with bedside tables, along with freestanding wardrobes or drawers, and the soft carpeting enhances the sense of comfort.

The second bedroom mirrors this charm, also tucked beneath the eaves and filled with light from a skylight window. It comfortably accommodates a double bed and additional furniture, making it ideal for guests, children or even as an alternative home office. The proportions strike a nice balance between cosy and practical.

Completing the first floor is a beautifully styled bathroom. A freestanding bath takes centre stage, creating a real sense of luxury and making the room feel more like a private retreat. The skylight above brings in plenty of natural light, while patterned floor tiles add character and contrast against the soft grey walls and crisp white suite. The layout allows for comfortable movement throughout, with the WC and basin well positioned and space remaining for storage if required.

Outside - Externally, the property enjoys a generous plot with gardens that wrap comfortably around the home, creating a real sense of space and privacy. To the front, a pathway leads through a wooden pergola to the entrance, adding charm and a welcoming first impression. The bay window and brick detailing around the front door give the property character, while established hedging provides a pleasant degree of screening from the road. The rear garden is a particularly attractive feature. A paved patio sits directly outside the house, offering the perfect spot for outdoor dining or a morning coffee, with plenty of room for seating and a barbecue. Beyond this, a well-kept lawn stretches out, bordered by mature shrubs and planting that soften the boundaries and add seasonal interest. The garden feels enclosed and private without being overlooked, making it a safe and enjoyable space for children, pets or simply relaxing outdoors.
