Find Out A Little More - This handsome brick and pantile house, dating from circa 2005, was designed in a classical style, with gable end chimney stacks, an ornate string course and a door canopy set between two bay windows. The traditional character continues inside with LVT parquet flooring, an elegant fireplace and a handsome staircase with a polished handrail, rising from the wide entrance hall to a generous first floor landing.

The open-plan kitchen/breakfast room and dining room extends across the width of the house, with a bay window seat overlooking the front and bifold doors opening onto the
rear garden. The fitted kitchen has a peninsula island with breakfast bar, quartz worktops, integrated appliances and an induction hob, while the dining area has ample
space for a family table and enjoys views across the garden.

The sitting room has a gas fire within an elegant surround as its focal point, together with French doors opening onto the garden terrace. At the front of the house, a snug with a bay window is currently used as a study.

On the first floor, the principal bedroom suite is well proportioned with an en suite bathroom. A dressing room is fitted with a built-in dresser, wardrobes, shelving and drawers. There are three further bedrooms, including a large double with an en suite shower room. The main house bathroom includes a bath with shower over.

accommodation, subject to the necessary consents.
