The living room is a generous and versatile space, perfect for both relaxing and entertaining, featuring a characterful fireplace and enjoying plenty of natural light from windows to the front aspect. The dining room is equally inviting, centred around a feature fireplace and benefiting from a dual aspect, with a window to the front and French doors opening onto the rear patio-creating an ideal setting for more formal occasions or family gatherings.

The principal bedroom is particularly spacious, enjoying multiple aspects and a feature fireplace, creating a light and airy retreat. Three further bedrooms are well-proportioned, with bedroom two benefitting from built-in wardrobes. The family bathroom is attractively fitted with a roll top bath and shower over, wash hand basin set within fitted furniture, and a low-level WC.

Externally, the property continues to impress. To the front, a driveway provides off-road parking and leads to a garage and then into a fully insulated gym area with power and lighting, along with a useful utility space. The rear garden has been thoughtfully landscaped to provide a low-maintenance lawned area, complemented by a further seating space, planting, outside lighting, and a water tap. A side gate offers convenient access, while an enclosed oil tank is discreetly screened from view, completing this attractive outdoor setting.
