Upstairs, the sense of space continues with four double bedrooms, three of which benefit from built-in wardrobes. The principal bedroom has an en-suite bathroom fitted with a three-piece suite, while a modern shower room serves the remaining bedrooms from the landing.

The rear garden is a particular highlight. Generous in size and enjoying a high degree of privacy, it offers plenty of room for children to play, outdoor dining and keen gardeners to enjoy. The overall plot also provides scope to explore extending the property, subject to planning permission and any other necessary approvals.
