Accommodation
Stepping inside, a traditional Victorian hallway welcomes you, with stairs rising to the first floor and access to the principal ground floor accommodation. To the front of the property is a superb open-plan reception space, naturally divided into living and dining areas. The sitting room enjoys a large front-facing window, while the dining area offers ample space for a family-sized table alongside additional furniture, creating a bright, sociable environment ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. Continuing through the hallway, there is a practical under-stairs storage area with space for coats and shoes before entering the spacious kitchen. Fitted with an extensive range of wall and base units, generous work surface space and room for a breakfast table and chairs, the kitchen is both functional and welcoming. Integrated appliances include an electric oven with five-ring gas hob and extractor canopy, while there is further space for an American-style fridge freezer and dishwasher alongside an inset one-and-a-half bowl stainless steel sink and drainer. Adjoining the kitchen is a useful utility room providing further storage, an additional sink and space and plumbing for both a washing machine and tumble dryer. A separate WC completes the ground floor accommodation.

The first floor offers particularly generous proportions, with an impressive four-piece family bathroom comprising a panelled bath, enclosed shower cubicle, wash basin and WC. The bathroom also benefits from a large airing cupboard housing the recently installed combination boiler. An additional separate WC is accessed from the landing, while two well-proportioned double bedrooms complete this floor. The principal bedroom is an especially spacious room with two front-facing windows, while the second bedroom overlooks the rear and benefits from built-in wardrobes. 

Stairs continue to the second floor, where an attractive original stained-glass window on the half landing adds a wonderful touch of period character. The top floor is home to a further spacious double bedroom, enjoying pleasant views to the rear.

Outside & parking

Approached via a low-maintenance front courtyard garden, the property benefits from useful hard-standing and dedicated space for bin storage before a pathway leads to the front entrance.

To the rear, the enclosed rear garden has been designed for ease of maintenance and family enjoyment. Immediately outside the utility room is a hard-standing area with useful storage space, leading onto an artificial lawn ideal for children and pets. Beyond a charming brick wall is a further secluded seating area, creating an inviting space to relax or entertain outdoors.
