Description

Upon entering, you are welcomed by a light and spacious entrance hallway, finished with high-quality Amtico flooring that continues seamlessly into the kitchen. The hallway provides access to two generous reception rooms. The front reception room is currently used as a dining room and is flooded with natural light from the attractive bay window. Double doors allow the space to be opened up or closed off, offering flexibility for family life and entertaining.

To the rear, the living room is a cosy yet stylish space, featuring built-in shelving and an exposed brick fireplace with a log burner as a striking focal point. Double doors open directly onto the garden, creating a wonderful indoor-outdoor flow.

The kitchen is well equipped with a range of cupboards and drawers and offers space for freestanding appliances. A useful utility area adjoins the kitchen and currently houses washing appliances, adding to the home’s practicality.

Upstairs, the staircase curves gracefully to a bright landing, enhanced by a window halfway up allowing natural light to pour in. To the front of the property is the first double bedroom, a spacious room with pleasant views and a charming original fireplace. The main bedroom is located to the rear and is another well-proportioned and light-filled room, also boasting a beautiful original feature fireplace. The third bedroom is a well-sized single, enjoying peaceful views over the garden.

The family bathroom is fully tiled and fitted with a bath and shower, wash basin, and eye-catching star-effect LED ceiling lighting. A separate WC completes the first floor.

Externally, the property benefits from metal gates opening onto a shared access driveway, providing both security and kerb appeal. To the rear is a detached garage, ideal for storage or additional parking. The garden is a lovely mix of patio and lawn, perfect for socialising, relaxing, and family time. An outdoor WC adds further convenience.

Ideally situated close to local amenities, schools, and excellent transport links, this charming and characterful home offers everything needed for comfortable family living.

Early viewing is highly recommended – this is not one to be missed.
