The front door opens into a spacious and welcoming entrance hallway, with a useful storage cupboard immediately to the right, stairs rising to the first floor on the left and a further storage cupboard positioned beneath. Straight ahead is a convenient downstairs cloakroom, fitted with a WC and wash basin. Double doors to the right open into the heart of the home, where an attractive open-plan kitchen, dining and living arrangement creates a wonderfully sociable environment for everyday family life and entertaining. The kitchen is fitted with a comprehensive range of wall and base storage cupboards and drawers, complemented by ample work surface space. Built-in appliances include electric ovens, a four-ring gas hob with extractor canopy over, while space is provided for a large American-style fridge freezer and plumbing for a washing machine. A stainless steel one-and-a-half-bowl sink and drainer is positioned beneath a window overlooking the front aspect, while a wall-mounted boiler is housed within a corner cupboard. The kitchen flows naturally into the dining area, which in turn connects seamlessly with the sitting area, creating a spacious and versatile open-plan arrangement. A window and double doors overlooking and opening onto the rear garden allow natural light to flood the room, complementing the front-facing kitchen window to create an appealing double-aspect environment. Attractive LVT flooring extends throughout the ground floor, providing a stylish, practical and easily maintained finish, particularly beneficial for families with young children or pets.

Upstairs, the first-floor landing provides access to all four bedrooms, the family bathroom, a useful airing cupboard and the loft space. The principal bedroom is positioned above the garage and represents a particularly impressive feature of the accommodation. This substantial double bedroom comfortably accommodates a king-size bed alongside additional bedroom furniture, with a window overlooking the front aspect. A walk-through dressing area provides an excellent range of fitted wardrobes and storage to either side, leading through to a private en-suite shower room. This is fitted with a generous shower enclosure, WC and wash basin, complemented by a fully tiled surround and an obscure-glazed window to the rear aspect. Bedroom two is another generously proportioned double bedroom, positioned towards the rear of the property and offering ample space for bedroom furniture. Bedroom three is situated towards the front of the home and is similarly a comfortable double bedroom, enjoying a pleasant leafy outlook towards established trees and hedging. Bedroom four overlooks the rear garden and provides a well-proportioned single bedroom, equally suited to use as a nursery, home office or occasional guest room. Completing the first-floor accommodation is the family bathroom, fitted with a panelled bath and shower over, WC and wash basin. A fully tiled surround provides a practical finish, while an obscure-glazed window to the front aspect allows natural light and ventilation.

Outside & parking

To the front of the property is a shallow, low-maintenance garden area laid predominantly to decorative shingle, with a pathway providing access to the front entrance. A private tarmac driveway leads to the integral garage, which is accessed via a traditional up-and-over door and provides valuable parking or additional storage space. 

To the rear, the property enjoys a fully enclosed garden which has been thoughtfully arranged with ease of maintenance and outdoor enjoyment in mind. Immediately adjoining the back of the home is a generous paved patio, creating an ideal setting for outdoor dining, entertaining friends and family or simply relaxing during the warmer months. A pergola adjoining the rear of the property provides an attractive feature, offering an additional degree of shelter and privacy to this seating area. The majority of the garden is laid to artificial lawn, providing an attractive, year-round green space without the maintenance associated with traditional grass. Timber fencing encloses the garden on both sides, creating a secure environment particularly well suited to young children and pets. A further seating area is positioned in the far right-hand corner of the garden, finished with decorative shingle and complemented by a second pergola, offering another sheltered spot in which to sit and unwind. Altogether, the outside space provides an appealing balance of practicality and enjoyment, perfectly complementing the generous family accommodation within.
