Description
Internally, the accommodation is well laid out and has been much improved by the current vendor. The property opens into a porch leading through to a spacious open-plan kitchen/dining/living area, creating a modern and sociable hub of the home. The kitchen has been extended to the side, providing additional workspace and a separate utility area with space for appliances.
An inner hallway gives access to two well-proportioned double bedrooms, along with a modern shower room. Bedroom Two benefits from patio doors. To the rear, the utility area provides further practical space with access to the garden.
A standout feature is the additional room created from the partial garage conversion, offering flexibility for home working or hobbies, while still retaining storage space within the remaining garage and a door allows internal access to the garage.
Further benefits include new rear windows, patio doors, re-plastering and stylish decoration throughout, with the property presented in a move-in-ready condition.
Externally, the property enjoys a private rear garden with a favourable southerly aspect, ideal for enjoying the sun throughout the day. There is space for a conservatory whilst still retaining a good size garden. A driveway provides good parking for multiple cars, and access to the garage.
