Description
Entering the property through a composite entrance door into the hallway, where stairs rise to the first floor and internal doors lead to the living accommodation. The hallway is also where you will find beautiful engineered wood flooring, along with the all-important under stairs storage. The lounge enjoys a coved ceiling, a feature electric fireplace and a fabulous large walk-in bay window to the front, which floods the room with natural light, whilst double doors to the rear of the lounge lead you into the dining area. At the rear of the property, you will find the real showstopper, where a fantastic alteration has completely transformed this home by creating a great open plan living space! The kitchen has been fitted with a contemporary arrangement of wall and base units with quartz work tops over,
housing all of the required appliances including a treat in the form of an instant hot water tap, no kettles needed in this house! There is also a useful breakfast bar with space for seating. The spacious dining area benefits from French doors which take you directly into the conservatory beyond, a perfect space for a small coffee table and chairs to sit back and enjoy the garden in those summer months. But we aren't finished here, as the sellers have converted the garage and created a fabulous fourth bedroom with a clever and delightful en suite beyond, meaning your guests/family will be well cared for when they pop over. You could also double up the room as a study/office, or maybe even a playroom, the choice is yours.
To the first floor you will find three good size bedrooms, two of which benefit from contemporary built in storage offering both hanging and shelving. The family bathroom has been refitted with a stunning modern suite comprising of a feature floor mounted bath, walk into wet area shower, his and hers wash basins mounted onto a wall hung unit and a WC, all complemented perfectly with attractive tiled walls and flooring.
To the outside, the driveway to the front and side allows for ample off-road parking. The rear garden is mainly laid with low-maintance artificial turf and enjoys a large decked seating area, which is perfect for entertaining.
