Description
Downstairs:
A covered porch with original tiled flooring leads into a bright entrance hall, setting the tone for the well-maintained accommodation throughout. To the right of the hall sits a welcoming reception room, enjoying a bay window to the front aspect and a central fireplace providing a focal point for the space. To the rear of the home, accessed via a partially glazed door from the hallway, lies the stunning dual-aspect kitchen diner. Spanning the full width of the property, this impressive room is fitted with a range of base and wall units, laminated work surfaces, and integrated appliances including a dishwasher, washing machine, and a range cooker with a five-burner gas hob and extractor above. French doors open directly from the kitchen diner to the garden, while ample room remains to accommodate a family dining table.
Upstairs:
Stairs ascend from the entrance hall to a first-floor landing, from which the three bedrooms and family bathroom are accessed. The master bedroom benefits from a bay window to the front aspect and a wall of fitted wardrobes. An additional double bedroom and a further single bedroom provide flexible accommodation for family living or home working. The modern family bathroom is fitted with a low-level WC, vanity wash hand basin, bath with mains shower over, chrome heated towel rail, and includes a useful storage cupboard which also houses the combination boiler.
Outside:
The property sits within landscaped gardens that extend around three elevations. The east and south aspects are predominantly laid to lawn, complemented by a raised decking platform and enclosed by fencing to create a private outdoor space ideal for entertaining. To the rear, a courtyard-style seating area offers a more secluded spot for relaxing. The property also benefits from a detached single garage and off-street parking.
