Why this house

- You get home through your own garden - Through the gate, past the deck and in your front door. There's no shared hallway, and nobody lives above you.

- The garden is somewhere you'll actually use - It has a dining deck under a timber pergola with festoon lights, a small lawn, raised beds and mature trees. Dinner outside in summer is easy here.

- The living room and kitchen flow into each other - The living room is at the front, with shutters, a fireplace and built-in shelving. A wide opening leads through to the kitchen at the back, so the cook stays part of the conversation.

- The kitchen is a recent refit and absolutely beautiful - It has navy shaker units, wood worktops and a gas hob, with a window over the sink looking out to the trees.

- Both bedrooms are a good size - Each has a fireplace, built-in wardrobes and shutters. That works for a couple with a guest room, two sharers, or someone who needs a home office with a door.

- The bathroom is recently refitted too, and there's a separate WC - The bathroom has pink tiles, black fittings and a bath with a shower over it. The WC on the landing helps with busy mornings and visitors.
