Accommodation:
Entrance Hall
The entrance hall is approached through a uPVC panel-effect entrance door with a three-point locking system. The space is neutrally decorated, with perimeter ovolo coving and oak-effect laminate flooring. A straight-flight staircase rises to the first floor, finished with an oatmeal-coloured cut-pile carpet and a white-painted handrail. A white panelled door opens into the main sitting room.

Sitting Room
Positioned to the front of the property, the sitting room is well lit by a segmental bay window. The floor is finished in dark oak-effect laminate, complementing the two-tone emulsion decoration to the walls. A freestanding electric flame-effect fire forms a focal point within a traditionally styled surround. A white panelled door leads through to the kitchen/breakfast room.

Kitchen / Breakfast Room
Occupying the full width of the rear of the property, the kitchen/breakfast room is arranged as a practical open-plan space with good natural light. The dining area provides space for a table and chairs, with double-glazed French doors opening directly onto the patio and rear garden.

The kitchen is fitted with a range of cottage-style base and wall units with white slatted-front doors, complemented by black roll-top work surfaces. A white ceramic sink with drainer and chrome mixer tap is positioned beneath a two-light casement window, providing natural light over the principal preparation area. Integrated appliances include a double electric oven, four-burner gas hob and brushed chrome extractor hood with lighting above. There is also provision for a fridge and freezer beneath the sloping understairs soffit.

First Floor Landing
The first floor landing is notably bright, with natural light provided by a casement window to the side elevation. It is finished with an oatmeal-coloured cut-pile carpet and neutrally decorated walls, creating a light and cohesive feel. White panelled doors open to the two bedrooms, bathroom and airing cupboard fitted with slatted pine shelving for linen storage.

Bedroom One
Bedroom one is a well-proportioned double room extending across the full width of the front of the property. Two separate casement windows provide good natural light and offer open, far-reaching views. The walls are finished in a soft sage-green emulsion with perimeter ovolo coving, while the floor is laid with matching oatmeal-coloured cut-pile carpet. Storage is provided by a substantial two-door built-in wardrobe fitted with a hanging rail and upper shelf.

Bedroom Two
Bedroom two is positioned to the rear of the property and is currently arranged as a single bedroom, although its proportions would also lend themselves well to use as a home office or nursery. A two-light casement window overlooks the rear garden and provides good natural light. The walls are finished in a soft grey-toned off-white emulsion with perimeter ovolo coving, while the floor is laid with matching oatmeal-coloured cut-pile carpet.

Bathroom
The bathroom is fitted with a three-piece white suite comprising a panelled bath with shower over and a clear glazed screen, a ceramic wash hand basin with chrome mixer tap set over a white vanity unit, and a close-coupled WC. The walls are fully tiled in ceramic tiling, while the floor is finished in limestone-effect vinyl tiles. A frosted two-light casement window to the rear elevation provides natural light and ventilation, with heating provided by a single-panel radiator.

Grounds:
Front Aspect
Occupying a slightly elevated position, the property is set back from Sandover behind a low-maintenance frontage laid predominantly to slate chippings and planted with low-level shrubs, with timber edging defining the landscaped areas. A short flight of steps with brick risers leads to the main entrance, which is sheltered by a dual-pitched canopy supported on timber gallows brackets. A stepped facing-brick wall separates the garden from the adjoining driveway. A dropped kerb provides vehicular access to a macadam driveway, offering off-road parking for two vehicles. Open-slatted fencing separates the driveway from the rear garden, with ledged-and-braced gated access to the side.

Rear Garden
The rear garden is arranged for relatively low maintenance and provides a good balance of seating, planting and storage. A generously paved patio adjoins the rear of the house, with French doors opening directly from the kitchen/breakfast room and creating a practical connection between the interior and garden.

Beyond the patio, the garden is laid predominantly to shingle, with raised planting beds and a selection of established trees and shrubs, including cherry, laurel and palm. To the rear left-hand side is a raised timber deck, providing an additional seating area, with trellising and climbing planting set against the rear brick boundary wall.

Riven-effect steps descend from the main patio to a further hardstanding area, retained by a low brick wall and accommodating a generously sized timber garden shed with mineral-felt roof and fixed glazed window. The remaining boundaries are enclosed by timber post-and-panel fencing.
