This former showhome is accessed from the large and welcoming entrance hall, from which the ground floor accommodation is well-arranged. The original galley style kitchen boasts ample wall and base units with space for white goods and a door for outside access.

The lounge is a large, bright space occupying the depth of the house. The patio doors to the rear offer external access, and the large window to the front overlooks the far-reaching views of the town. The feature marble fireplace adds a lovely touch to the room.

The formal dining room is another bright and versatile space, ideal for dining or as a smaller lounge or accessible bedroom. There is also an accessible WC.

To the first floor is the master bedroom, a generous room offering a wealth of light and space. This floor benefits from a further spacious double bedroom. The final two bedrooms are both bright and versatile single rooms on the rear elevation. The bathroom is fully equipped with partially tiled walls and an overhead shower.

Externally, the property benefits from a private drive, on-street parking and a very large integrated garage. The garden to the rear is bordered by well maintained trees and hedges and benefits from a lawned area and small patio.
