## Description

The ground floor provides a particularly versatile arrangement, with a comfortable lounge featuring a modern electric fire set within a feature fireplace, alongside a separate dining room with a characterful period-style fireplace. The dining room opens into a generous conservatory, which in turn provides direct access to the rear garden. The breakfast kitchen is fitted with a range of wall, base and drawer units, work surfaces and a breakfast bar, together with an oven, hob and extractor, ceramic sink and space for additional appliances. Completing the ground floor is a useful guest WC, making the layout well suited to everyday family life as well as entertaining.

Upstairs, the property offers three bedrooms, including two well-proportioned double bedrooms and a versatile third bedroom that could also be utilised as a home office, nursery or dressing room. The family bathroom is fitted with a white suite comprising a bath, separate shower cubicle, WC and wash hand basin, with tiled flooring and a heated towel radiator. Natural light is provided throughout the first floor by double-glazed windows, while the landing also provides access to the loft space.

Outside, the property continues to offer plenty of practical and recreational space. A lawned frontage sits alongside a driveway providing off-road parking and leading to a substantial garage, which benefits from power, lighting, windows and a separate pedestrian door into the side garden. To the rear is a private garden featuring lawned areas along with paved and decked seating spaces, creating a pleasant setting for relaxing or entertaining outdoors. The garden also enjoys views towards Doxey Marshes, providing an attractive open outlook. With its combination of generous living accommodation, three bedrooms, conservatory, driveway, garage and private garden, this is a home that offers both practicality and plenty of potential for its next owners.
