Stepping inside, the tone is set immediately by a clean, well-kept interior that feels considered without being overworked. The entrance hall runs neatly through the centre of the home, finished with wood flooring and a light palette that carries throughout. There’s a natural practicality here too, with storage tucked beneath the stairs and a cloakroom positioned off the hallway, while doors lead through to both the front reception and the kitchen at the rear.

To the front, the living room is a comfortable, well-balanced space that works just as easily for everyday use as it does for quieter evenings. A wide opening with French doors connects it through to the rear of the house, allowing light and movement to flow between the two main living areas without losing the sense of separation when needed.

At the back, the kitchen and dining space becomes the focal point of the home. Facing south, it draws in consistent natural light through both the window and doors, creating a bright and open feel across the day. The kitchen itself is fitted with a modern range of navy shaker-style units, paired with lighter worktops and tiled splashbacks that keep the overall look sharp but not overstated. Integrated appliances include a fridge/freezer and dishwasher, with additional space for a washing machine, while the layout provides plenty of usable preparation and storage space without interrupting the flow into the dining area. Positioned alongside the doors, the dining space sits comfortably within the room, reinforcing the connection out to the garden.

Upstairs, the first floor is arranged in a practical way, with three bedrooms and the main bathroom leading off a central landing. The finish remains consistent, with soft carpeting underfoot and a bright, neutral feel throughout. The rear bedroom looks out over the garden and includes built-in storage, making it a particularly usable space for a child’s room, guest room or home office if needed. The remaining rooms on this level are similarly well proportioned, with a flexibility that allows them to adapt depending on how the next owner chooses to live.

The bathroom is simple and modern, fitted with a full-sized bath and shower over, alongside a WC and basin. Tiling runs around the bath and across the lower walls, giving a clean and practical finish, while a window above brings in natural light and ventilation.

The top floor introduces a different feel to the house, with two larger rooms potentially interchangeable. One offers the greatest floor area, with a mix of standard window and rooflight bringing in light from two aspects, while the other benefits from fitted wardrobes and its own en-suite shower room. This creates a useful choice for buyers, whether prioritising space or a more self-contained bedroom setup. The en-suite itself is neatly finished, with a walk-in shower, WC and basin arranged efficiently within the room.

Outside, part of the original garage has been adapted to create a dedicated office space. It’s a genuinely practical addition, particularly for anyone working from home, with enough room for a full desk setup and seating without feeling cramped. The remainder of the garage is retained for storage, keeping that balance between usability and function.

The garden has been designed with simplicity in mind. A paved terrace sits directly off the back of the house, leading onto a lawn that provides a good level of usable space without becoming high maintenance. The southerly aspect ensures the garden enjoys sunlight across the day, making it a natural extension of the living space in warmer months. The detached garage sits within the plot, accessible both from the garden and via the driveway, adding another layer of practicality.

From a day-to-day perspective, the property benefits from a number of modern advantages. Built in 2021, it remains within that early life stage where everything still feels new and efficient. Gas central heating is in place with a boiler around four years old, broadband is provided via fibre to the premises, and mobile coverage is reported as good. The loft is insulated and fitted with lighting, offering additional storage without encroaching on the main accommodation. The EPC is B rated.

The setting itself reflects the nature of the development, with a calm, settled feel and a neighbourly environment that has been positively described by the current owner. Parking is well handled via the car port and driveway leading to the garage, while the overall presentation of the road and surrounding homes adds to the sense of order and consistency.

Taken together, this is a home that balances modern construction with practical living space, offering flexibility across its layout and a straightforward, easy-to-manage feel both inside and out.

Hallway

4.7m x 1.06m

A bright and well-presented entrance hall that immediately reflects the overall condition of the home. The space is finished with wood flooring underfoot and a neutral palette, helping to keep it light and easy to furnish.

Positioned at the rear of the home, this is a bright, south-facing kitchen/dining space that naturally becomes the hub of day-to-day living. Light pours in through the window and French doors, reinforcing the connection out to the garden and giving the room a warm, open feel throughout the day.

The kitchen itself is fitted with a modern range of shaker-style units in a deep navy tone, paired with light work surfaces and tiled splashbacks for contrast.

Landing

The first floor landing is bright and neatly presented, with a central position that connects all three bedrooms and the family bathroom. Natural light filters in from the adjoining rooms, helping the space feel open rather than enclosed.

The layout is practical and easy to navigate, with doors leading off in a straightforward arrangement and a clear sense of separation between each room.

First Bedroom

5.45m x 3.07m

The shape of the room adds character without compromising usability, with a clear central area for the bed and surrounding space that can be adapted for additional furniture. The proportions allow it to function comfortably as a principal bedroom, guest room, or even a quieter retreat away from the main living areas below.

While this is the larger of the two upper rooms in terms of floor area, the alternative bedroom on this level benefits from fitted wardrobes and an en-suite shower room, giving buyers flexibility depending on how they prioritise space versus facilities.

Second bedroom

4.05m x 3.34m

En-suite

1.99m x 1.78m

Serving one of the top floor bedrooms, the en-suite is a clean, modern space fitted with a walk-in shower enclosure, low-level WC and wash basin. The layout is efficient, making good use of the available space without feeling cramped.

Third Bedroom

3.34m x 2.81m

Set to the rear of the property, this third bedroom enjoys a pleasant outlook over the garden, with natural light filtering in through the window to create a calm and comfortable space.

An integrated wardrobe provides built-in storage, helping to keep the room uncluttered and functional without the need for additional furniture.

Bathroom

2.34m x 1.8m

Positioned off the landing, the main bathroom is finished in a clean, modern style with a neutral palette that feels both fresh and easy to maintain.

A full-sized bath with shower attachment runs along one wall, complemented by contemporary tiling that wraps around the bath area and continues across the lower walls, giving a cohesive and practical finish. A WC and wash hand basin complete the suite, with the layout making efficient use of the space without feeling restricted.

A window above the bath allows for natural light and ventilation, helping the room feel bright throughout the day while maintaining privacy. Overall, it’s a straightforward, well-presented bathroom that comfortably serves the household.

Office

3.11m x 2.75m

Forming part of the original garage, this room has been adapted to create a practical and versatile workspace, well suited to modern home working requirements.

The current layout demonstrates how easily it accommodates a dedicated office environment without feeling cramped.

The space offers flexibility beyond its current use, whether as a study, hobby room or potential playroom, it’s a valuable addition that adds real day-to-day functionality to the home.

3.64m x 3.11m

Front Garden

The property sits neatly within the Hopkins Homes River Reach development, with a clean, well-ordered frontage that reflects the overall feel of the road. A paved pathway leads directly to the front door, framed by low-level planting that softens the brickwork without requiring high maintenance.

To the side, a covered car port provides sheltered parking, creating a practical transition between the street and the garage beyond. This setup works particularly well day to day, offering protection from the elements while keeping access convenient. The driveway continues through to the garage, giving additional parking or storage options depending on needs.

The consistent architectural style across the development gives a smart, cohesive setting that will appeal to buyers looking for something modern, tidy and easy to manage.

Rear Garden

The South facing rear garden has a simple, usable layout that suits both everyday living and time outside. A paved terrace sits directly off the back of the house, creating an immediate seating area that works well for dining or relaxing, particularly with the garden’s southerly aspect bringing in consistent natural light.

Beyond this, the lawn stretches out to provide a good level of open space, ideal for children, pets or general use without feeling restrictive. The boundaries are enclosed with fencing on either side, giving a sense of privacy while remaining easy to maintain.

Positioned within the garden, the detached garage adds another layer of practicality, offering secure storage or potential for workshop use, with a personal door allowing convenient access without needing to open the main garage door.
