Entry is via the front door, to the side of the property, which opens into a welcoming hallway finished with a wooden floor laid in a herringbone design. Various doors lead off and stairs, with storage beneath, ascend to the first floor. The property has been decorated in neutral tones allowing the easy addition of accent colour should you so wish and you are impressed by the amount of natural light circulating throughout this beautifully well-cared for property.

With three windows overlooking the green and leafy mature front garden, the lounge is a welcoming room in which to spend time with family and friends. A fireplace housing a wood burner set upon a stone hearth with a brick insert forms an attractive focal point. The wooden mantle above the fireplace extends to form a half height wall creating a lovely feature adding character to this room. It forms a subtle divide between the living room and the dining area where the half height wall becomes a breakfasting bar area with bar stools beneath. In addition, there is plenty of space to accommodate a dining table with accompanying chairs. The space is finished with a lovely grey carpet adding comfort as you move throughout.

The country cottage style kitchen offers a good number of wall and base units with a cream-coloured shaker style door complemented by a contrasting solid wood work surface and neutral splash back tiling. There is a Rangemaster cooker beneath a built-in black extractor fan, a white ceramic sink with a chrome mixer tap beneath a window overlooking the rear garden, an integrated larder fridge with a freezer below and an integrated dishwasher. There is plumbing and space for washing machine and there is a beneficial pantry cupboard offering further storage. A door provides external access to the rear garden.

Taking the stairs to the first floor and passing a window overlooking the rear garden on the half landing, the main landing opens out to two bedrooms and the family bathroom. Loft access is available.

The principal bedroom is a spacious double room with a window overlooking the green and leafy vista to the front of the property. This room benefits from built-in shelving and neutral decoration.

Bedroom 2 is a double bedroom with two windows overlooking the stunning rear garden. The boiler is housed in this room for ease of access. Both the bedrooms are carpeted adding comfort as you move throughout.

The fully tiled bathroom comprises a corner shower cubicle with an electric shower within behind two sliding doors, a floor-standing vanity unit with a recessed hand wash basin on top, a wall mounted mirrored cabinet and a concealed cistern toilet. A window to the side allows for natural light with additional lighting by way of ceiling spotlights within the low maintenance ceiling.

The property continues to impress with its outside space which is a unique and beautifully private space. A couple of steps lead from the kitchen door to a flagged area which incorporates some bespoke wooden benches forming three sides of a square which is a perfect space to sit and relax with family and friends. Another couple of steps descend to an extensive garden which boasts a beautiful green and leafy backdrop. The space is fully enclosed to allow children and family pets to play safety and wooden slatted path, interspersed with gravel, leads to the foot of the garden where there is a monkey puzzle tree adding further character. There is an extensive space to the side of the property that could easily accommodate an outdoor office or summer house if you so wished. There is a log store, a useful outbuilding and to the front, there is another beneficial storage space. The LPG tank is sympathetically concealed within an area of the rear garden.
