Accommodation

The front door opens into a welcoming entrance hall, where attractive porcelain tiled flooring flows through into the kitchen/dining room and ground-floor cloakroom. Stairs rise to the first floor, while positioned at the end of the hallway is a useful WC with wash basin. To the right is an impressive triple-aspect sitting room, with windows to both the front and rear together with double doors opening directly onto the side garden. This combination provides an abundance of natural light and creates a bright and airy reception space, enhanced by wood flooring and a large modern wood-burning stove set within the fireplace to provide a wonderful focal point. Occupying the opposite side of the house is the superb kitchen/dining room, an equally light and spacious room extending to approximately seven metres in length and benefitting from windows to the front, rear and both side aspects. There is ample room for a substantial dining table and chairs beneath the front-facing window, while the kitchen itself is fitted with an extensive range of wall and base storage cupboards and drawers amongst a generous amount of work surface space. An inset sink and drainer is positioned beneath a window overlooking the rear garden, while appliances include a four-ring induction hob with extractor canopy over, double electric oven and integrated dishwasher, with further space for a freestanding fridge/freezer. A door leads into a handy utility room, providing additional storage together with space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer. The boiler is also housed here, while a further door provides direct access onto the rear garden.

Upstairs, the landing provides access to the partly boarded loft and leads to each of the three bedrooms. The main bedroom is a particularly spacious double room enjoying a bright double aspect together with an abundance of built-in wardrobe storage. Bedroom two is another comfortable double room overlooking the front, while the third bedroom is a slightly smaller double positioned to the rear. Serving all three bedrooms is a stylish family bathroom fitted with an attractive four-piece suite comprising a WC, wash basin set within a vanity unit with LED mirror above, panelled bath and a generous enclosed shower cubicle with a fully tiled surround.

Outside & parking

To the front, a tarmac driveway provides off-road parking for two vehicles in front of the garage, which is accessed via a traditional up-and-over door. A pedestrian gate opens from the driveway into the front garden, where a pathway leads through the centre towards the front door and also provides access to the garage via a separate rear door. Immediately outside the house is a raised decked area, creating a sociable space for outdoor dining, barbecues and relaxing in the sunshine. Alongside is a neat section of lawn, bordered by a stone wall and complemented by a colourful variety of mature shrubs and plants that add texture and interest to the garden.

One of the particularly appealing features of the property is the garden’s ability to wrap around the entirety of the house, with access provided along both sides. To the rear is a further hardstanding area accessed directly from the utility room, while a shingled pathway leads towards a useful storage shed positioned in the far corner. Another attractive section of lawn is surrounded by an impressive collection of beautifully maintained flowers, shrubs, plants and small trees. The garden continues around the opposite side of the house and eventually reconnects with the front, providing excellent 360-degree access. Double doors from the sitting room open directly onto this section of garden, where a conveniently positioned log store provides easy access to firewood during the winter months. Altogether, the established wraparound gardens provide a wonderfully attractive setting and a variety of different areas from which to enjoy the outside space throughout the day.
