Description
Upon entering the property through the welcoming hallway, you are immediately greeted by a warm and inviting living room, beautifully presented and centred around a charming feature fireplace which creates an attractive focal point for the space. A large front facing window allows an abundance of natural light to flood the room, enhancing the bright and airy feel while providing a comfortable setting for relaxing and entertaining. Continuing through the property, you will find an impressive open plan kitchen/dining and living space which has been thoughtfully designed to suit modern family living. The contemporary fitted kitchen offers an excellent range of wall and base units, providing plentiful cupboard and worktop space, along with the added convenience of an integrated dishwasher. The room easily accommodates a dining table, making it ideal for both everyday dining and hosting guests, while the additional reception area offers a versatile second living space perfect for a family room, snug or entertaining area. French doors open directly onto the garden, allowing natural light to pour into the room and creating a seamless connection between the indoor and outdoor spaces during the warmer months. A useful pantry cupboard further enhances the practicality of the home by providing valuable additional storage space. The ground floor accommodation continues with a generously sized bedroom which could equally serve as a guest room, home office or additional reception room depending on individual requirements. Completing the downstairs layout is a beautifully modernised three piece bathroom, stylishly fitted with a panelled bath incorporating an over bath shower, contemporary vanity sink unit and modern fixtures and fittings.
Ascending the stairs, the first floor opens into a fantastic and versatile upper level. The spacious primary bedroom benefits from built-in wardrobes offering excellent storage solutions, while an adjoining area provides further flexibility and could be perfectly utilised as a dressing room, nursery or home office space. This floor also boasts an immaculately presented three piece shower room, fitted with a sleek freestanding shower cubicle, vanity sink unit and a Velux window which allows natural light to brighten the space while adding character to the room. In addition, there is extensive eaves storage, offering practical hidden storage options.
The property has been beautifully modernised throughout to a high standard, blending contemporary finishes with comfortable living spaces, and further benefits from a recently fitted new roof, providing added peace of mind for prospective purchasers.
