Spec Continued
The property

The property offers well-planned single-storey living, starting with a welcoming entrance hall leading through to the principal rooms.

Kitchen-diner

A side entrance opens into a clean, bright, fully fitted kitchen with Bosch integrated double ovens, induction hob, integrated fridge-freezer, and solid wood countertops — practical for everyday living, with under-cabinet lighting and a sink positioned to overlook the driveway.

The kitchen opens into a bright and airy, south-facing dining room with a large window onto the garden — comfortably seating eight, with room for additional storage. Tiled flooring runs throughout.

Sitting room (5m x 4m)

A comfortable space to relax, with a dark blue feature wall and full-width sliding patio doors opening onto the secluded rear garden. The current owners have set up a short-throw projector with a 100-inch-plus screen on the wall between the sitting and dining rooms — a nice bonus for movie nights! Two radiators and a wall-mounted thermostat (controlling the attic-housed boiler) complete the room.

Hallway

A covered front porch leads into a hallway with space for coats and shoes, providing access to both bedrooms and the bathroom.

Bathroom

Finished in a neutral palette: a floating WC, a large basin set on a solid wood countertop with drawer storage beneath, and a bath with rainhead and handheld shower. A heated towel radiator and a storage cupboard with shelving complete the room. The loft hatch is accessed from here.

Bedroom 1

A generous double room with a sliding-door wardrobe and a large front-facing window with blackout blinds. Comfortably fits a double bed, bedside tables either side, chest of drawers, and wardrobe.

Bedroom 2

A cosy double room with a pine wardrobe and front-facing window with blackout blinds. Fits a double bed, bedside table, and chest of drawers — equally suited to guests, a hobby room, or a home office.

Loft

Partially boarded, with 150mm insulation, accessed via the bathroom hatch. Houses the efficient Vaillant gas boiler on the west-facing elevation, positioned for easy access and maintenance.


Outside
Outside

Outside is where this home really comes into its own. The property sits on a generous plot with well-kept gardens to both front and rear. The secluded, south-facing rear garden is mostly laid to lawn, with paved paths leading to the summer house and borders of mature shrubs that draw a regular mix of birds, pollinating insects, and the occasional hedgehog or toad. Two water butts (200L off the garage, 100L off the summer house) keep the garden low-maintenance.

Summer house (4m x 2.5m) — Built in 2023 from pressure-treated timber on a level concrete foundation, with double doors and windows to both sides. Currently used as a home office; watertight and provides a private, cosy space to enjoy year-round.

Garage (5.5m x 2.5m) — Fitted with a newly painted up-and-over metal door; suits a small-to-medium car or extra storage.

Driveway — Off-road parking for 4–5 vehicles, with an EV charger installed, leading to the garage.

The exterior is rendered in a light blue-grey finish, and the large south-facing roof presents a strong opportunity for solar PV installation, as several neighbouring properties have already done.
