The Approach

The allocated parking area is positioned to the front aspect, and has shared steps leading up to an elevated entrance level, with the red-brick façade giving the property a smart, established appearance.

Ground Floor

The ground floor opens into a welcoming entrance hall, where the staircase rises to the first floor and the principal rooms lead off in a clear, practical arrangement. To the front, the kitchen/diner offers space for everyday dining and is fitted with a range of light-toned units, worktop space and integrated appliances, with the front-facing window taking advantage of the open outlook across the surrounding countryside. A cloakroom is also positioned on this level, providing useful convenience for family life and guests.

To the rear, the sitting room is generously proportioned and arranged as a comfortable main living space. Sliding doors open directly to the garden, creating an easy connection between inside and out, while the room’s neutral finish provides flexibility for different furniture layouts. There is space for relaxed seating, home-working or family use, making this a particularly adaptable room for day-to-day living.

First Floor

The first floor is arranged around a central landing, with three bedrooms and the family bathroom. The principal bedroom is a well-sized double with an en-suite shower room, offering a private and practical addition to the accommodation. Bedroom two is also a comfortable double, while the third bedroom works well as a child’s room, guest room or study, with front-facing views that reach across the surrounding rural landscape.

The family bathroom is fitted with a bath and overhead shower, WC and wash basin, serving the additional bedrooms. The overall feel upstairs is calm and well-maintained, with neutral decoration and a layout that suits family life, visiting guests or buyers looking for flexible working-from-home space.

Garden

The rear garden has been designed for ease of maintenance, with a paved terrace immediately outside the sitting room providing space for outdoor seating and dining. Beyond this, gravelled areas create a practical, low-upkeep setting, enclosed by fenced boundaries for privacy. The garden includes useful outbuildings, including a shed and summerhouse-style garden building, offering storage or potential hobby space depending on a buyer’s needs. With direct access from the sitting room and a sunny, open feel, the outside space is well suited to relaxed entertaining, children’s play or simply enjoying a manageable garden without heavy upkeep.
