## Description

Upon entering you are greeted with a fantastic size hall thanks to its extension to the front, it comes complete with built in storage, stairs rising to the first floor and internal doors leading to the downstairs WC, lounge, kitchen and dining room. Versatility sits key with the two reception rooms. Currently situated to the front is the great size dining room featuring a large box bay window, whilst stretching the depth of the property is the large lounge, boasting a dual aspect with windows to the front and rear, along with a feature fireplace. The kitchen benefits from a good arrangement of wall and base units, with a large window overlooking the beautiful garden, whilst an internal door provides access to the rear hall. To the first floor, there is a spacious landing with a stunning feature stained glass window, along with doors leading to the three bedrooms and bathroom. Two of the bedrooms are large doubles, whilst the third easily accommodates a single bed. The bathroom comes complete with a three piece suite to include a bath with shower over, wc and wash basin.

Turning to the outside and the real selling feature of this stunning home. The plot is a fantastic size allowing for a lovely mature garden to the front, alongside a driveway leading directly to the attached garage. To the rear is an amazing garden for any growing family. Vast in size, it is laid mainly to lawn with a combination of mature trees and patio areas. It’s a blank canvas for any gardener yet provides an excellent space for extension of the home if required (subject to relevant permissions).

This home is an amazing opportunity for those longing for character and space, with the chance to create a stunning family home.
