Beautifully presented throughout, it's a haven for those seeking comfort, and effortless family living.

With its early 20th century heritage and modern enhancements, this well presented family home offers the charm of the past with the ease of contemporary living.

As you enter, you'll find spacious entryway with a beautifully maintained ceiling rose and cornicing. In the spacious living room, you are met with a large bay window, letting in ample sun, and beautiful and intricate fireplace. Double doors lead straight from the adjoined dining room onto a terrace, accessing a meticulously presented and well proportioned garden.

The excellent presentation continues into the kitchen, where shaker cabinetry and beautiful white countertops create an elegant finish. An additional breakfast space and downstairs toilet add every touch a busy family might need. Another set of double doors lead out to the garden.
The garden compliments the home, offering a peaceful space to unwind, and an inviting one for children to play. Curated by the current owners, its thoughtful design includes a large patio, lawn and a garden shed as well as wonderfully maintained foliage.

Upstairs, three double bedrooms and a fourth bedroom / home office / children's bedroom allow for family living and hybrid working. All 4 rooms are airy and peaceful with high ceilings and room for ample storage. A well finished and practical family bathroom completes this gorgeous home.
This property is one of the rare Corbett houses to be a natural 4 bed with a large footprint. Despite its already generous proportions, it has yet to be extended, and so the property also has significant potential to add value, with scope to extend into the loft, and to create a larger kitchen space if required.
