Description - This appealing, well-rounded and energy-efficient (C-rated EPC) detached house was built, we understand, in the 1970s, and has been exceptionally well maintained and comprehensively upgraded during our client’s recent ownership, now being offered to the market with no onward chain. The accommodation is bright, extremely well presented and tastefully finished, enjoying excellent privacy and comprising three bedrooms, two receptions, a newly fitted kitchen and a contemporary bathroom. Recent improvements include full external redecoration, total replacement of the roof and rainwater goods (2026), internal decoration and a newly fitted kitchen, as well as improvements to the garage and new fencing in the garden. Externally, the property benefits from some lovely, well-kept gardens on three sides, which offer excellent space for keen horticulturists and also feature a gentle brook. Finally, there is a detached two-storey garage building with a versatile office/studio room beneath. This superbly located and well-balanced home should appeal to a variety of prospective purchasers, offering quality, comfort and convenience in equal measure.

Accommodation - The house is accessed beneath a canopied porch into a bright and welcoming entrance hallway, where stairs rise to the first floor and there is a deep understairs storage cupboard, alongside a cloakroom fitted with a good range of low-level cupboards.

The sitting room enjoys a dual aspect, overlooking the side gardens and looking through the conservatory to the rear garden, and is centred around a stone fireplace housing a gas fire. The recently upgraded kitchen is fitted with a comprehensive range of cupboards and cabinets with timber work surfaces and unit downlighting, incorporating a 1.5-bowl stainless steel sink and drainer, along with integrated appliances including a Lamona dishwasher, washing machine and condenser tumble dryer, Neff multifunction oven with slide-and-hide door, Lamona five-ring induction hob with extractor over, and a built-in fridge and separate freezer. Connecting the kitchen and sitting room is a superb, full-length Amdega hardwood conservatory, enjoying a lovely outlook over the gardens towards surrounding countryside, and currently serving as a dining room. The conservatory also features patio doors to the side garden and full-length overhead blinds. On the first floor are three bedrooms, including a very good-sized principal room with double fitted wardrobes and a wall-mounted television. The second bedroom is also a double and, like the principal room, enjoys attractive views to the rear, while the third is a single bedroom, suitable for use as a home office or study. The accommodation is completed by a tastefully finished family bathroom, fitted with both a panelled bath and a fully tiled shower enclosure, plus a touch-sensitive vanity mirror and a chrome, ladder-style towel rail.

Steps then lead down through the front garden to the property’s entrance. Beneath the garage is a lower level, offering potential for use as a home office, gym, studio or hobby space, with internal power and lighting. The property's colourful gardens surround the house on three sides, facing south and west, and are well-planted with a variety of mature shrubs and established hedging, providing good privacy and shelter, whilst also featuring a paved patio area, ideal for outdoor dining and barbecuing, plus a gentle brook providing a sense of tranquillity.
