Interior Highlights

Condition: Fully refurbished throughout, the property has been comprehensively redecorated with new, complementary floor coverings and internal doors, alongside a modern kitchen and stylish bathroom. It further benefits from an upgraded boiler feeding a decorative radiator system, and two-tone double-glazed windows featuring anthracite grey exterior for striking kerb appeal, paired with a clean white interior to maximise natural light.

Kitchen: The beautifully refurbished kitchen features a wide range of grey, wood-grain effect Shaker-style units, paired with hardwearing, marble-effect quartz worktops that extend into a convenient breakfast bar. An inset ceramic sink with a stylish chrome swan-neck tap perfectly complements the matching cabinet hardware. Integrated appliances include an electric oven, hob, extractor hood, and a concealed dishwasher, with dedicated space left for a freestanding fridge-freezer. Completing the layout is a separate utility room, fitted with matching storage, plumbing for a washing machine, and space for a tumble dryer.

Bedrooms: Upstairs, the first floor accommodates two spacious double bedrooms.

Washrooms: The ground floor offers the convenience of a newly refitted WC, while the luxurious, partially tiled family bathroom on the first floor has been stylishly upgraded. This premium space features a panelled bath with a shower attachment, a bespoke vanity unit with a countertop basin, a concealed-cistern WC, a separate walk-in shower cubicle with both handheld and rainfall showerheads, and a decorative heated towel rail for an added touch of comfort.

This connects to a lush lawn flanked by vibrant flower borders, where a detached timber garden cabin neatly divides the plot, creating a perfect home office with peaceful garden views.
