As well as three bedrooms, a lovely large living room and a super kitchen diner, you can look forward to exploring a garden you could easily get lost in!

The front is neatly landscaped and the driveway is nestled in the pretty garden which is home to beautiful blooms. A garage provides useful storage for DIY supplies and other bits and pieces and to the side is a gate that leads to the garden.

As you step inside to begin your tour, the entrance hallway is first on the list. This is a perfect introduction to this handsome home and gives you a good idea of what lies ahead as you venture further.

Ahead is the dining room and kitchen but to get things started in style, make a left turn.

The living room is a wonderful size and just the place be for maximum rest and relaxation. To the front is a large bay window that lets in lots of lovely light and at the opposite end, patio doors open onto the garden. You can look forward to curling up here at the end of the day as you enjoy a quiet evening on the sofa. And if you are expecting company, there is more than enough room for everyone to gather here and enjoy being together.

The room extends under the archway into a lovely spot where you can sit and savour views of the amazing garden. Here you can retreat to a comfy chair and enjoy a sunny morning while you listen to the radio or tackle a crossword.

Next on the tour is the kitchen and if you make your way back the hallway, and venture into the dining room you will see that this home is made for for families who love to be together. You can all pull up a chair at the table and catch up over breakfast, lunch and dinner and where better to celebrate festive occasions than here. If you are hosting a dinner party, guest can sit with a glass of something chilled and keep you company as you showcase your skills and whip up something sensational.

The kitchen is very well equipped and there is a great selection of cabinets and drawers so you can keep everything nice and tidy. Light from two windows helps make this room bright and inviting and you can enjoy looking over the garden as you stand at the sink and peel spuds for Sunday lunch or while you wait for the kettle to boil.

Tucked away in the corner is a handy utility room and guest cloakroom so handy for the household guests especially if having a garden party.

On the subject of the garden, now is the perfect time to step outside and take a look - and believe me, you're in for a real treat!

As you step outside, the first fabulous feature to admire is the perfectly sized patio which enjoys an elevated position offering a marvellous view of the garden. Imagine sipping cocktails here on a summer evening as you listen to the birds chirping and if you love living life alfresco, you can happily spend time here from dawn to dusk.

The gently sloping lawn is a great picnic spot and everywhere you look there is something lovely to look at.

Wander along the path to the side of the lawn and you will happen upon some steps that lead to something quite unexpected. A wooded area with a stream running through it!
Younger family members will love to spend time down here, building dens and playing hide and seek. And those who are a little more mature will enjoy the tranquil setting and marvel at the local wildlife that shares this special spot.

After spending some time in this secret garden, climb back up the steps and head back inside so you can venture upstairs and pick a bedroom.

There are three to choose from and as you reach the landing, step into the bathroom to freshen up before taking a look.

The bathroom is a good size and has everything a busy household needs. Take a dip in the tub before heading out for a busy day and when you return and are ready to relax, hop in the shower for a quick refresh before going downstairs to get started on dinner.

The first of the bedrooms is a generous double with lots of room for a comfy bed and wardrobes. In the morning, open the window and enjoy listening to the birds as you sneak an extra ten minutes before getting up.

Next to this is another large room which is also delightfully cosy and has plenty of space for a luxuriously bed as well as storage for sock and PJs. Anyone lucky enough to sleep here will look forward to an early night as they scamper up the stairs and snuggle up under the covers.

The final bedroom is as cute as can be and the perfect spot to snuggle down and enjoy a lovely long, relaxing sleep.
