PROPERTY 
This charming property offers well proportioned accommodation with lots of potential. The entrance door opens into a hallway with a cupboard for coats and shoes and a downstairs WC to the right hand side. A further door leads into the generous open-plan living / dining space with stairs to the first floor straight ahead. The kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and base units with a worktop over incorporating stainless steel sink with drainer. There is a freestanding washing machine, integrated electric/gas hob and a door providing direct access into the garden.  

Upstairs, there is a family bathroom, an airing cupboard and 3 bedrooms. All 3 bedrooms benefit from fitted wardrobes/cupboards with the master bedroom being a spacious double room. The family bathroom is fitted with a pedestal basin, panelled bath and WC.   

It is a good sized property as it is but for those looking to add space and value to this fantastic house there is plenty of extension potential (subject to obtaining any necessary planning consents). The house benefits from double glazing and there is a warm air heating system which will likely need repair or replacement.

OUTSIDE 
The property is situated in a lovely residential setting on a quiet cul de sac built in the 1960s. It sits on a corner plot with a good-sized front garden filled with a variety of neat shrubs, hedging and several specimen trees. It wraps around the right hand side and the plot includes the land between the garden wall and the pavement. A flat driveway provides off-road parking and there is an attached garage with an 'up and over' door. 

The back garden is east facing and fully enclosed. To the immediate rear of the house is a patio, which offers an ideal spot for al fresco entertaining. There is an area of lawn and a selection of herbaceous shrubs and flowering plants to the borders.
