Accommodation

Stepping through the front door, the property opens into a welcoming entrance hallway with stairs rising to the first floor and a useful storage cupboard providing practical everyday space. From here, the hallway continues through the ground floor, with access to the integral garage on the left and the kitchen/dining room positioned at the rear. The kitchen/dining room is a spacious and practical area with plenty of room for a dining table and chairs, making it well suited to family life. The kitchen itself is fitted with a range of storage cupboards and drawers complemented by generous worksurface space. Built-in appliances include an electric oven with four-ring gas hob and fitted extractor canopy over, while there is space for a freestanding fridge/freezer and washing machine. A cupboard in the corner houses the combination boiler and completing the ground floor accommodation is a useful cloakroom to the right of the hall under the stairs.

Stairs rise to the first-floor landing, where there is a further cloakroom with WC and wash basin. The principal reception room occupies the rear of this floor and provides an impressively proportioned living space. A useful storage cupboard offers additional practicality, while double doors open to form a Juliet balcony overlooking the rear garden. Across the landing is the first of three generous double bedrooms. Positioned at the front of the home, two windows enjoy an attractive outlook across the open communal green space at the centre of the development, providing a pleasant recreational area ideal for children, picnics and enjoying the outdoors within the development.

Continuing to the second floor are two further double bedrooms and the family bathroom. The main bedroom is positioned at the front and benefits from built-in wardrobes together with its own en-suite shower room, comprising a generous shower cubicle with tiled surround, WC, wash basin and radiator. The family bathroom is fitted with a panelled bath with tiled surround, WC, wash basin and radiator. Completing the internal accommodation is an exceptionally spacious double bedroom positioned at the rear of the property. Offering excellent proportions and an outlook across the rear garden, this impressive room provides considerable flexibility for bedroom furniture, a dressing area or additional workspace.

Outside & parking

To the front of the property is a brick-paved driveway providing off-road parking for two vehicles and access to the integral garage. The garage is approached via a traditional up-and-over door and benefits from power and lighting, providing secure parking or valuable additional secure storage, or could even be converted to incorporate further living space if desired, subject to the relevant consents. 

The rear garden enjoys a sunny aspect and has been fully paved to create an attractive yet particularly low-maintenance outside space. Enclosed by fencing, the garden offers a secure environment for young children and pets while providing plenty of room for outdoor seating, entertaining and enjoying the afternoon and evening sunshine. Pedestrian access is also available to the rear of the property via a pathway leading around the development, providing convenient independent access to the garden.
