This impressive reception room enjoys a feature double glazed bay window overlooking the front aspect, a characterful feature fireplace and stairs rising to the first floor, with useful storage cupboard beneath. There is also internal access to the cellar, providing valuable additional storage.

A particularly attractive feature of the home is the large wooden sliding door, which opens through into the superb kitchen/dining room. This fantastic space provides an excellent hub for family life and entertaining, with a comprehensive range of fitted base and eye-level units, complemented by contrasting work surfaces.

A matching wall unit houses the gas fired combination boiler, providing heating and hot water to the property, whilst a double glazed window and further double glazed doors overlook and open directly onto the rear garden, creating a lovely connection between the living accommodation and outside space. The kitchen offers excellent appliance space and storage, whilst a further enclosed utility room provides additional built-in storage and incorporates a useful guest WC.

The principal bedroom enjoys an attractive front aspect and benefits from two feature double-glazed windows, creating a light and airy room. Bedroom two is positioned to the rear and benefits from a double glazed window overlooking the garden, whilst bedroom three is positioned to the side and also benefits from a double-glazed window. Adding further character and style throughout the home, many of the windows are complemented by high-quality wooden plantation-style shutter blinds.

The superb family bathroom is a real feature, incorporating a separate shower cubicle and an impressive roll-top 'slipper' style bath, complete with elegant chrome effect feet.

From the first floor landing, wooden steps lead to a highly useful attic space, which provides an excellent additional storage area. Twin Velux style windows allow natural light into the space, whilst a substantial array of fitted storage units has been cleverly incorporated into the eaves.

The rear garden provides an excellent private space for relaxing and entertaining, with a covered paved patio area, providing an ideal setting for outdoor dining. The remainder of the garden is predominantly laid to lawn and is fully enclosed by timber fencing, providing a pleasant degree of privacy. There are excellent garden storage facilities, together with a further patio area which leads to the former garage, now superbly converted to create a highly versatile additional room.
