The current owner chooses to use this room as a games room, but a large table and chairs could easily be accommodated. A set of French patio doors allow in more natural light and provide access to the garden.

The kitchen was extended by a previous owner to create a dining area to the kitchen, however, it is the current owner who has refitted and rewired the kitchen during his time. The kitchen includes a range of base and wall units with a modern high-gloss finish and roll-edge work surfaces that include a composite sink and drainer. There is an integrated gas hob and built-in eye-level double oven. There is space for a freestanding fridge freezer and plumbing for a washing machine. The dining section of the kitchen is a dual aspect space with windows to both rear and side elevations and space for a table and chairs ideal for breakfast and casual dining. A back door provides access to the side and garden.

To the first floor, the principal bedroom is the largest of two double bedrooms and enjoys views over the garden. The bedroom does benefit from a range of fitted wardrobes, drawers and overhead storage. The second double bedroom is situated toward the front of the home and again benefits from a built-in wardrobe in one the alcoves to the side of the chimney breast. The third bedroom is a versatile and although the smallest of the three, can still accommodate a double bed. This room could be used as an office space or dressing room, if not required as a bedroom day-to-day.

Finally, on the first floor, is a refitted bathroom which comprises a three-piece white suite to include a corner bath with shower over, low flush WC and pedestal wash hand basin.

To the front of the home a large driveway would provide off-road parking for at least four vehicles. The driveway continues down the side of the home leading to a detached single garage setback into the rear garden.

At the rear is a pleasant garden ideal for relaxing in the warmer months, entertaining family and friends and for children to play. There are two patio seating areas at either end of the garden with an area of lawn in between. The plot would allow scope for further extension either to the side or rear if required and subject to local planning giving potential buyers the possibility to add further value to the home.
