Ground Floor

Entering through the front UPVC door into an inner porch, with a further glazed door leading into a spacious, welcoming and practical entrance hall. The understairs space has been cleverly utilised to create a children’s reading corner. From here, doors lead into the kitchen, living room and dining room. The kitchen, positioned to the rear of the property, is equipped with a range of base and wall units, an inset electric cooker with extractor hood over, a sink with drainer unit, and a window to the rear. The room also benefits from a small breakfast bar and quarry tiled flooring. A door leads into a fantastic pantry space, fitted with shelving and a rear-facing window, providing a particularly practical and useful feature.

From the kitchen, a door leads into a further practical utility area with space for a fridge freezer and laundry appliances, along with a further door to a storage cupboard and a door through to the ground floor WC. There is also a door providing access out to the side of the property. Moving back to the entrance hall, a door leads through to the living room, again positioned to the rear of the property, with a window overlooking the rear garden. A well-proportioned room featuring a central brick surround with oak mantel, currently used as a decorative feature, with built-in cupboards to either side and shelving to one side. The room could be further enhanced by extending out into the garden or by opening through into the dining room, depending on the buyer’s requirements and subject to the necessary consents.

.

Lastly on the ground floor is the dining room, again a well-proportioned room positioned to the front of the house, with a window to the front elevation. From the entrance hall, stairs rise to the first floor landing.

First Floor

From the first floor landing, doors lead through to three bedrooms. The main bedroom is positioned to the rear of the property, a good-sized double room with a window to the rear and wooden flooring. The second bedroom is positioned to the front of the house with a window to the front elevation, again a double room. The third bedroom is also positioned to the rear of the property, with a window overlooking the rear, providing a good-sized single room. Completing the first floor is the family bathroom, fitted with a white suite comprising a panelled bath with glazed shower screen and electric shower over, with full-height tiling surrounding, pedestal wash hand basin and WC. The room also benefits from a built-in airing cupboard and vinyl flooring.

Converted Attic

The current owners have converted the loft space, now providing a very versatile area currently utilised as an additional large bedroom and storage space, with two Velux windows to the rear and built-in storage cupboards. At the time of conversion, as a young family, the owners chose not to install a fixed staircase, as this would have required alterations within either the second or third bedroom, instead opting for a fold-down ladder accessed from the landing. Depending on the buyer’s requirements, this space could be further enhanced.

Gardens and Parking

The property benefits from good-sized, level wrap-around gardens with mature hedged boundaries. To the front, a pedestrian gate opens onto a central pathway leading to the front door, with established shrubs and bushes, a gravelled area to the left-hand side, and a side lawn. A further pathway continues around the perimeter of the house and down the left-hand side to the rear lawn and garage/shed. Currently designed for ease of maintenance, the gardens offer excellent scope for a purchaser to personalise and enhance to their own taste, with potential for the addition of flower beds and shrubs, or the reinstatement of vegetable beds if desired.

.

To the lower end of the garden there is a metal shed/garage, with a pedestrian door accessed from the garden and double opening doors accessed via a small side road from Joe Deakins Road. It is understood that this access has been used for many years; however, it is unclear whether a formal right of way is in place or whether this has been a longstanding informal arrangement. Pedestrian rear access is also available via a full-height wooden gate. On-street parking is also available to the front of the property.
