Key Features - A beautifully maintained front garden creates a charming and welcoming approach to the property. A driveway leads to a single garage, while a path guides you to the front door, which opens into a central hallway providing access to all ground floor rooms. The spacious entrance hall sets the tone for this impressive home, featuring neutral décor and attractive flooring that flows through to the ground floor cloakroom/WC and into the kitchen/dining room. The kitchen/diner is a good size, offering ample space for dining furniture. The modern kitchen is well equipped, comprising wall and base-level units with matching work surfaces over, incorporating integrated appliances including a side-by-side, top-to-bottom, fridge and freezer, an oven with four-ring induction hob, dishwasher, and washer/dryer. The matching units also discreetly house the boiler, while double doors open onto the garden, allowing plentiful natural light to fill the space. The spacious living/sitting room is elegantly presented and flooded with natural light from its triple aspect, featuring front and side windows fitted with white shutters. French doors provide secondary access to the garden, further enhancing the living.

The principal bedroom enjoys a front aspect and benefits from en-suite facilities. Two of the bedrooms feature rear-aspect windows with pleasant views overlooking the field, enhancing the sense of space and natural light.
The family bathroom is tastefully finished with a modern suite, including a panel-enclosed bath, wash hand basin with fitted vanity storage beneath, and W/C. The suite is complemented by a large inset mirror with lighting, along with attractive, fully tiled walls and flooring.
