The Property

A conservatory extends across the rear of the property, creating a light-filled additional reception space with direct access onto the adjoining terrace and garden. An inset log burner provides an attractive focal point and brings a cosy character to the room during the colder months.
The kitchen/breakfast room is positioned to the rear and is fitted with a comprehensive range of oak wall and base units beneath granite work surfaces. Integrated appliances include an electric hob and oven, with space and plumbing for further appliances. A large window overlooks the rear garden, whilst the generous proportions allow space for a breakfast table, making this a particularly practical and sociable area of the home. A useful larder cupboard provides additional storage.

On the first floor, the galleried landing, with its front-facing window, provides access to four well-proportioned bedrooms, each benefiting from built-in storage, together with the airing cupboard. The principal bedroom enjoys its own en-suite shower room, whilst the remaining bedrooms are served by the family bathroom, fitted with a bath with shower attachment, wash basin and WC.
Overall, the accommodation provides a well-balanced combination of generous reception space, comfortable bedrooms and useful ancillary areas, making the property particularly well suited to family life.
Outside
A further attraction is the generous corner plot, with the property approached via a tarmac driveway providing parking for approximately two vehicles and leading to the integral garage. The larger-than-average garage benefits from power and lighting, while an additional gravelled area provides further parking.
The front garden is attractively screened by mature hedging and is principally laid to lawn, with established planted borders providing colour and interest. The corner position gives the gardens a pleasing sense of space and separation from neighbouring properties.
The rear garden is a particularly appealing feature, enjoying a good degree of privacy and having been thoughtfully arranged to provide a combination of entertaining, relaxation and productive gardening space. Immediately adjoining the house is a paved terrace, ideally suited to outdoor dining and entertaining, beyond which is a level area of lawn bordered by mature shrubs, established planting and small fruit trees.
A productive section of the garden has been given over to the cultivation of fruit and vegetables and includes a greenhouse and garden shed. Gated side access provides additional practicality and completes the outside space.
