PROPERTY
A well presented and stylish family house tastefully finished to a high standard.  The property has benefitted from extensive renovations by the current owners to include new heating system, solar panels, reroofed, replastered, replaced kitchen, double glazed windows and bathrooms. The property is offered with no onward chain.

The entrance door opens into a welcoming and spacious hallway with Oak flooring and useful storage cupboards, the hallway gives access to the ground floor WC and the spacious living room which has doors leading out into the garden.  The open plan kitchen dining room is a real feature with bifolding doors leading out onto the patio. The kitchen has been fitted with a modern range of  wall and base units set around a large island unit. The kitchen units are interspersed with a range of freestanding and integrated appliances. The kitchen is a great space and offers the sociable open plan living space families look for.

The staircase rises from the entrance hall up to the long first floor landing. This leads onto four good size bedrooms, one of which benefits from several built in useful storage units. They have all been neutrally decorated and offer a blank canvas for the new owner to put their mark on the house. 

All of the bedrooms benefit from underfloor heating which gives greater flexibility on where to arrange your furniture and three of the rooms look out over the garden.

The family bathroom is a generous size and has been fitted with a modern white suite and has stylish tiling, there is a shower cubicle separate to the bath.
