Occupying an enviable position on the edge of this small development, the home further benefits from a larger than average garden, allocated parking and no onward chain.

Wonderfully bright and dual aspect, the room benefits from a front aspect window and French doors opening directly onto the patio and rear garden. The kitchen is fitted with a good range of wall, base and drawer units, together with an inset electric hob with extractor hood above, oven and grill beneath, and space for both a washing machine and fridge freezer. The sink is positioned beneath the front-facing window, enjoying pleasant views over the front aspect.

To the rear is a particularly generous garden for a property of this age and style, benefitting greatly from the plot position.

A pathway leads to the rear gate providing access to the allocated parking area and visitor spaces. A timber shed and oil tank are positioned to the foot of the garden.
