Ground Floor

The ground floor opens through a useful porch, leading into the central hallway and principal accommodation.

The living room is a generous and comfortable space, ideal for everyday relaxation, family evenings and entertaining. The separate dining room provides a defined area for family meals and more formal occasions, while still sitting conveniently close to the kitchen.

The kitchen offers practical space for cooking, storage and day to day use, with access through to a separate utility room. This is a valuable addition for family life, giving space for laundry, appliances and household organisation while helping to keep the main kitchen clear and functional.

A dedicated study sits to the front of the home, creating an excellent space for working from home, homework, reading or use as a quiet snug. A ground floor WC completes the practical ground floor arrangement.

First Floor

To the first floor there are four bedrooms arranged around a central landing.

The two largest bedrooms are both generous doubles, providing comfortable main bedroom options with space for wardrobes and additional furniture. The remaining bedrooms add flexibility for children, guests, nursery space, dressing room use or further home working if required.

The family bathroom serves the first floor and includes both a bath and separate shower, giving the home the level of convenience expected from a larger family property.

Outside

Externally, the property benefits from a front garden which adds to the setting and approach of the home.

To the rear, there is a large garden, providing excellent outdoor space for families. The garden offers room for children to play, seating areas, planting, entertaining and enjoying the warmer months. For buyers who value outside space, this is one of the home’s strongest features.

A single detached garage provides useful parking, storage or workshop potential, depending on the buyer’s needs.
