At the front of the home, a neat lawned garden sits to one side, softened by a small ornamental tree in the centre that adds colour. A paved path leads directly to the entrance, complete with a handrail for ease of access. The driveway runs alongside the property, laid in a combination of loc-bloc and gravel at the end, providing valuable off-street parking. The frontage is simple and easy to maintain, giving a welcoming first impression.

Inside the living room is a good size space that feels comfortable. Neutral wall tones keep the room bright, with a dark grey fitted carpet adding warmth underfoot. A window at the front brings in natural light. There’s ample room for sofas and additional furniture, with a layout that allows for different configurations.

The kitchen and dining room is found at the rear of the home and forms a bright, open space. The kitchen is arranged in a practical L-shaped layout, fitted with shaker style units in a light neutral colour, paired with contrasting darker side panels. A tiled splashback runs along the work surface, with under cabinet lighting providing a warm glow. Integrated appliances include an electric hob, oven and extractor, with additional space for freestanding appliances beneath the counters. The sink is positioned beneath a window, bringing in natural light while you work.

The dining area sits comfortably alongside, creating a natural continuation of the room. There’s space for a table and chairs, positioned to make the most of the light coming through the glazed French doors. These open directly out to the garden. A radiator is positioned along the wall while the neutral finish keeps the space easy to personalise.

The home has a handy WC, positioned just off the hallway near the front door. It’s fitted with a white toilet and a compact wall mounted basin, keeping the layout simple and practical. The walls are finished in a warm neutral tone, paired with tiled flooring for durability. A radiator is mounted along the wall and a small storage unit provides space for essentials.

At the top of the stairs, the shower room is finished in a clean, modern style with a layout that makes good use of the space. A walk-in shower enclosure sits to one side, fitted with glazed screens and lined with light toned wetwall panelling. Alongside, a white toilet and pedestal basin are positioned beneath a large mirror, with a tiled splashback adding subtle detail. Natural light enters through the frosted window, while the neutral palette and wood effect flooring keep the room clean and easy to maintain.

The first of the two bedrooms is positioned at the front of the home and is a generous double with a simple, neutral finish. The walls are painted in a soft cream tone, paired with fitted carpet for added comfort. A window brings in a good level of natural light, with curtains already in place. Built-in wardrobes are set into one wall, with a radiator mounted along another. The layout leaves flexibility for a full range of furniture.

Bedroom two is a slightly smaller room, but continues the same neutral tones with soft cream walls and fitted carpet. A window provides natural light, while built-in double wardrobes offer excellent storage without encroaching on the room. A radiator is positioned along the wall to keep the space warm year round.

The property features uPVC double glazed windows throughout, with external doors in a mix of uPVC and composite construction. Heating is provided by a gas fired central heating system with radiators throughout. The boiler supplies hot water on demand, too.

The rear garden is fully enclosed offering a good balance between lawn and planted areas. Directly outside the French doors, a paved patio area creates a natural spot for seating, linking the dining space with the garden and making it easy to step outside and enjoy the setting. A section of level grass runs through the centre, bordered by shrubs and seasonal planting that bring colour and variety. Timber fencing surrounds the garden, creating a sense of privacy. Within the garden there is a greenhouse, ideal for growing, along with a rotary clothes line for everyday use. A timber shed provides additional outdoor storage.
