The kitchen is fitted with matching base units, complemented by roll-edge work surfaces and tiled splashbacks. A one-and-a-half stainless steel sink with drainer is set beneath a double-glazed rear window, enjoying views of the garden.

Positioned towards the rear of the property and accessed from the inner hallway, the living room is a generously proportioned principal reception space. A dual aspect enhances the room with excellent natural light, with double-glazed windows to both the rear and side, including a large rear window overlooking the garden. A cream limestone fireplace forms an elegant central focal point, adding character and definition to this comfortable living area.

The principal bedroom is set to the rear of the property and enjoys a pleasant outlook over the garden through a large double-glazed window, with fitted wardrobes providing useful storage.

The property is served by a contemporary shower room, finished with tiled walls. It comprises a corner shower enclosure with a mains-fed shower, vanity wash basin with storage beneath, wall-mounted heated towel rail and an obscured double-glazed window to the side aspect.

A Garden to Enjoy

A paved seating terrace sits adjacent to the house, creating an ideal spot for outdoor dining, relaxing or entertaining while enjoying the outlook across the garden. The main lawn is generously proportioned and framed by well-stocked flower beds, established planting and brick-edged borders, bringing colour and interest throughout the space. Raised beds and planted terraces add depth and character, while pathways provide convenient access to the garden and back towards the side of the property.
