Accommodation 

All accommodation is on the ground floor and comprises a spacious open plan lounge/dining room, sunroom, dining kitchen, three generous double bedrooms and the family bathroom.  

Enter through a glazed front door and side screen into the welcoming L-shaped hallway, which has a well-placed alcove, ideal for either a coat stand or chair. 

The triple-aspect lounge/dining room is fresh and bright, benefiting from an abundance of natural light streaming in through the large front-facing picture window, a high-level window in the dining room and double patio doors leading into the sunroom.  The lounge has an attractive feature fireplace with an inset wood burning stove, adding a cosy spot when the nights draw in.  The dining room is spacious and has space for a table seating six.  

The sunroom has windows around 3 sides and a pitched glass roof, offering a great space in which to perhaps enjoy a morning coffee or evening drinks at any time of the year. Double patio doors lead out to the rear garden.  

The generous kitchen has a good range of upper and lower cabinets and drawers, as well as integrated fridge freezer, electric hob with extractor hood above, dishwasher and double oven. With plenty of countertops, deep pan drawers and pull-out larder shelves, it's certainly well-appointed. The colourful tiled backsplash around the kitchen suggests Mediterranean ambience. Another light and bright living space, featuring a large window overlooking the rear garden and fields and woods beyond, and a door with a glazed panel which leads out to the back garden.  Opposite the rear door from the kitchen is an attached outbuilding which houses the gas boiler and has plumbing and power for a washing machine and dryer.  

The beautiful shower room has a two-piece white suite comprising WC with hidden cistern and inset wash basin, with storage cupboards beneath and extra storage drawers in the bathroom unit. The walls are fully tiled and there is the luxury of electric underfloor heating. Large opaque window looking to the back garden. The walk-in shower enclosure has a rainfall shower and a handheld shower attachment. 

All the bedrooms in this fantastic home are doubles. The primary bedroom is the largest of the bedrooms with a full wall of built- in wardrobes and a window drawing in light from the front garden. The good-sized Bedroom 2 has views to the rear gardens and benefits from built-in wardrobes.  Bedroom 3 has a front-facing window and double built-in wardrobes. This bedroom is currently utilised as a home office.   

Outside/Gardens 

To the front, a single detached garage is located at the end of a large, block paved, driveway with parking for multiple cars. The delightful front garden is well-manicured, featuring an area of lawn bounded by low walls.  Around the lawn is a variety of beautiful small trees, a huge variety of shrubs with coloured foliage and a profusion of lovely tall flowers in bloom.  A pretty patio with stone benches offers just the cutest spot in which to sit amongst the flowers, bees and butterflies.  

The rear garden is laid with attractive stone flags, forming a large patio providing plenty of space for furniture, a BBQ and relaxation.  Lovely, curved steps lead to the upper tier of the garden, which is well maintained. Primarily laid to lawn, the upper tier has a beautiful acer tree and other small tress, including fruit trees. Lots of flowers in bloom.  The summerhouse at the top of the rear garden features two glass doors and windows; the perfect place in which to enjoy the sunshine.   Wooden shed and wood-store. The garden is fully enclosed (superb for children and pets) and bounded by timber fencing, beyond which is a peaceful field coated with wildflowers and edged with trees. 

Additionally, an area of grass situated to the front of the house (between Drumduan Road and Victoria Road) is in shared ownership with the other seventeen properties along this row of houses.  The same applies to the field referred to above, directly behind the rear gardens.
