Upon entering, you are welcomed by a bright entrance porch which leads into a spacious reception room. This inviting area can be arranged as a combined living and dining space or enjoyed as a generous lounge. The room is enhanced by attractive wood-effect flooring, a large bay window filling the space with natural light, and convenient under-stairs storage. The reception room flows seamlessly into the kitchen/dining area, creating an open-plan layout perfect for modern living.
The kitchen features sleek white high-gloss cabinetry, ample space for appliances, and light flooring that contributes to its bright and airy feel. Large sliding doors open out onto the garden, allowing for effortless indoor-outdoor living.
On the first floor, you will find two well-proportioned bedrooms, both decorated in light tones with matching cottage-style internal doors in light wood. The front bedroom benefits from a charming bay window, while both rooms are fitted with soft grey carpets for a contemporary finish. The family bathroom on this floor is beautifully designed, featuring grey marble-effect panelling, a bath with an overhead shower, and a modern, white, fitted unit that incorporates the toilet, sink, and storage.
The second floor features a spacious bedroom, complete with fitted storage on either side and the same high-quality grey carpeting, making it an ideal main or guest bedroom.
Externally, the rear garden has been designed for low maintenance and outdoor enjoyment. A paved patio area leads up to a generous decked space, perfect for entertaining, which also provides access to the garage.
