Accommodation

The property is entered via a welcoming entrance porch — a practical and neatly presented space offering room for coats and footwear, complete with free standing storage and a window to the side aspect allowing natural light to flood in. From here, you step into a generous sitting room which immediately conveys a sense of space and comfort. A contemporary media wall with inset electric fireplace creates a focal point, while the open staircase rises to the first floor with useful understairs storage neatly tucked beneath. There is ample space for a range of furniture, making this an ideal everyday living and entertaining space. 

To the rear, the kitchen/dining room has been tastefully modernised and fitted with a range of shaker-style wall and base units complemented by light work surfaces and metro-style tiled splashbacks. An induction hob with extractor canopy sits above, alongside an eye-level electric oven and grill and further built-in appliances include a dishwasher, while space is provided for a fridge/freezer. The layout maximises both storage and preparation space, while a window above the sink provides excellent natural light. The dining area is well-defined and comfortably accommodates a family table, with double doors opening directly onto the rear garden — enhancing the feeling of indoor-outdoor living and creating a sociable hub for day-to-day family life. 

Stairs rise to a first floor landing with loft access and a useful airing cupboard providing additional storage. The principal bedroom is a well-proportioned double room enjoying attractive views across neighbouring rooftops towards rolling countryside beyond, adding a lovely sense of openness, also with space for wardrobes and additional furniture. There are two further bedrooms, one double and one single, both neatly arranged and ideal for children, guests or home working. The family bathroom is fitted with a white three-piece suite comprising a panelled bath with shower and glass screen over, pedestal wash hand basin and low-level WC. An obscured window provides natural light, and the finish is clean, practical and well maintained.

Throughout, the property is presented in a modern decorative order, allowing a buyer to move straight in with confidence.

Outside & parking

At the front of the home, there is a neat section of lawn with a small range of shrubs and flowers to add texture to the front of the home. A brick paved driveway sits in front of a garage which is accessed via a traditional "up and over" door and houses the boiler, while steps lead up to the main front door of the house.

To the rear, the property enjoys an enclosed garden designed for ease of maintenance while still offering an attractive and usable outdoor space. Directly accessed from the dining area, a patio spans the width of the garden and is fully enclosed making it a safe space for pets, also leading to a rear door into the attached garage. Rising up one level of the tiered garden, is a shingled area where there is space for seating and outdoor dining — ideal for warmer months and entertaining. Here there is also a useful timber storage shed, doubling up as a utility space, connected to power and water and housing the washing machine as well as the tumble dryer. Steps lead up to two more flat sections of garden, bordered with picket fencing, primarily laid with lawn but with raised flower beds and small shrubs for decoration and variety. The top sections hosts another timber structure which is an ideal workshop or storage space. The elevated position to the rear enhances the outlook, creating a pleasant sense of privacy and openness.
