This well-proportioned three-bedroom home offers spacious and versatile accommodation, combining bright living spaces, a practical layout and generous outdoor areas. With a large living room, a modern kitchen/diner, three bedrooms, a family bathroom, a downstairs WC and the added benefits of off-road parking and an attached garage, the property is well suited to families, first-time buyers or those looking for a comfortable home with space to grow. Its pleasant residential setting, with attractive views towards the surrounding wooded hills, adds to the appeal.

The front door opens into a welcoming entrance hallway, providing access to the main ground floor accommodation, with stairs rising centrally to the first floor. The hallway creates a natural separation between the living room and kitchen/diner, giving the home a practical and comfortable flow.

The living room is a wonderfully bright and spacious area, with a large window allowing natural light to pour into the room. Finished with crisp white walls and soft grey carpeting, the space offers a fresh, neutral backdrop ready for a new owner to make their own. Its generous proportions comfortably accommodate a large sofa arrangement, additional armchairs and occasional furniture, making it an ideal setting for relaxing evenings or entertaining family and friends. Contemporary fitted shelving provides useful display and storage space while adding character to the room, and the wide window creates a lovely sense of openness. With plenty of flexibility for different furniture layouts, this is a welcoming and versatile space that can easily adapt to everyday family life.

Positioned towards the rear of the property, the kitchen/diner is a bright and sociable space, thoughtfully arranged to combine everyday practicality with comfortable dining. The kitchen features a range of white shaker-style wall and base units, complemented by contrasting dark worktops and splashbacks, creating a smart, contemporary finish. The U-shaped arrangement provides generous preparation and storage space, with a fitted oven, hob and extractor hood, while a wide window above the sink brings in plenty of natural light. Decorative patterned flooring adds character and continues throughout the room, creating a seamless connection between the cooking and dining areas.

The dining area offers ample space for a family dining table and chairs, making it an ideal setting for everything from everyday meals to entertaining friends. Recessed ceiling spotlights provide a clean, modern finish, while glazed French doors open directly onto the rear garden, allowing natural light to fill the space and providing easy access outside during the warmer months. The connection to the garden makes this a particularly enjoyable room for family gatherings, with the opportunity to open the doors and extend the living space outdoors when the weather allows.

Completing the ground floor is a conveniently positioned WC, accessed from the hallway. Fitted with a low-level WC and wall-mounted wash basin with a chrome mixer tap, the room also benefits from a circular wall mirror and a useful wall-mounted storage cupboard. Light-coloured wall panelling and wood-effect flooring complete this practical addition, particularly useful for visiting guests and everyday family life.

Stairs rise from the central hallway to the first-floor landing, which provides access to all three bedrooms and the family bathroom.

The principal bedroom is a wonderfully spacious and bright double room, offering a comfortable and relaxing retreat. A large window allows plenty of natural light to fill the space, while crisp white walls and soft grey carpeting create a fresh, neutral setting. An extensive range of fitted wardrobes spans almost the entire length of one wall, providing excellent storage without encroaching on the main floor space. The generous proportions comfortably accommodate a king-size bed with bedside tables and additional bedroom furniture, while still allowing plenty of room to move around. With its practical built-in storage and light, airy feel, this is an inviting main bedroom with plenty of flexibility for personal touches.

The second bedroom is another generously proportioned double room, offering ample space for a double bed, bedside tables and freestanding wardrobes or a chest of drawers. Finished with white walls and soft grey carpeting, the room feels fresh and welcoming, while a large window with fitted blinds allows natural light to fill the space and provides pleasant views towards neighbouring greenery. A wall-mounted panel offers a useful focal point for a television or display, and the room's comfortable proportions make it equally suitable for family members or visiting guests.

The third bedroom is a bright and versatile addition to the first-floor accommodation. Finished in the same neutral style, with white walls and grey carpeting, the room benefits from a window with fitted blinds that provides natural light. Its practical proportions make it well suited as a child's bedroom or nursery, with space for a single bed and additional storage furniture. Alternatively, it would make an excellent home office or study, with room for a desk, shelving and other essentials, offering flexibility for those working from home or needing a dedicated hobby space.

The family bathroom is generously sized and fitted with a white suite comprising a shaped bath with an overhead rainfall-style shower, an additional handheld shower attachment and a curved glass shower screen. A low-level WC and contemporary dark grey vanity unit with an inset wash basin provide practical facilities and useful storage. Light grey marble-effect wall panelling surrounds the bathing area, while decorative patterned flooring adds character and complements the neutral colour scheme. A high-level frosted window allows natural light into the room while maintaining privacy, creating a bright and functional family bathroom.

Outside - The property enjoys a pleasant position within an established residential setting, with attractive views towards the surrounding wooded hills providing a lovely green backdrop. To the front, a driveway offers off-road parking and leads to the attached garage, providing valuable additional space for a vehicle, storage or hobbies. The front garden is predominantly laid with decorative gravel, creating a low-maintenance approach to the property, while a pathway leads to the main entrance. To the rear, the property benefits from a generously sized, enclosed garden, accessed directly through French doors from the kitchen/diner. Predominantly laid with gravel and featuring stepping stones, the garden offers a low-maintenance outdoor space with plenty of potential for a new owner to make their own. There is ample room to introduce outdoor seating, a dining area or raised planters, creating an inviting setting for summer gatherings, barbecues or simply relaxing outdoors. Timber fencing provides a sense of privacy, while established shrubs and a small area of artificial lawn add touches of greenery. The garden offers an excellent opportunity for buyers to personalise the space, whether creating a contemporary entertaining area, introducing further planting or designing a more traditional family garden. The attached garage is another useful feature, providing additional storage or parking space, while the driveway offers convenient off-road parking.
