With an inviting approach, the internal accommodation begins with bright and welcoming entrance hallway with guest WC, and spindled staircase to the upper floor with generous storage beneath.   Immediately to your right, the well-proportioned sitting room enjoys a bay window overlooking the front garden and Govan’s Way, with a centrally positioned wood-burning stove creating a warm and inviting focal point.  French doors open seamlessly into the delightful garden room, currently arranged as a formal dining room.  Bathed in natural light via surrounding windows and French doors leading to the private garden, this wonderful space is perfect for entertaining guests or could equally serve as a relaxing second lounge space.  Located at the rear, the breakfasting kitchen is fitted with stylish wall and base units to two with complimentary worktop surfaces and modern tiled splashback.  Integrated appliances include a dishwasher, fridge freezer, and microwave, whilst a free standing Rangemaster cooker takes centre stage.  There is ample space for a small table and chairs, ideal for casual dining, while a rear external door provides convenient access to the garden. Adjacent is a useful utility room with space and connections for a washing machine and tumble dryer, together with a second external door offering further access to the garden.  Elsewhere on the ground floor with a window to the front, is a versatile room currently used as a children’s playroom, which could easily serve well as a formal dining room, TV snug, or a separate home office.  Up on the first floor, a light and airy landing features a built-in laundry cupboard and a ceiling hatch providing access to the loft space. Positioned to the rear, the principal bedroom benefits from double fitted wardrobes and a private en-suite shower room comprising a WC, vanity wash hand basin, and shower enclosure with contemporary tiling. Three further comfortable bedrooms are also located on this level, two positioned to the front, one with a useful built-in storage cupboard, and the fourth to the rear.  Completing the accommodation is the well-appointed family bathroom, fitted with a vanity unit incorporating a WC and wash hand basin.  The room also features a panelled bath, separate shower enclosure, and an opaque window to the front. 

Externally, the property enjoys an open-style front garden laid to lawn complemented by mature greenery, a paved pathway, and a monobloc driveway which leads to the attached single garage. A side gate gives access to the private enclosed rear garden, which is predominantly laid to lawn and beautifully bordered by a variety of mature shrubs and established plantings.  A paved patio, directly accessible from both the garden room and kitchen, provides the perfect spot for morning coffee, while a superb, raised corner patio enjoys a sunny aspect and has been thoughtfully designed for outdoor living, complete with ambient lighting, making it ideal for barbecues, alfresco dining, or relaxing with sunset apéritifs, a wonderful space for entertaining family and friends.  There is also a timber garden greenhouse to the side, providing the perfect space for keen gardeners to enjoy, while the garden is fully enclosed by timber fencing.
