**Description**

Set back from the road by an enclosed garden with a mature hedgerow providing added privacy, this family sized home will appeal to many buyers.

The entrance hall has a staircase immediately ahead of you with a door to the side wall leading into the lounge which offers a light and airy space with a bay window to the front and open access into the adjacent dining kitchen.

This open plan and free flowing space offers an ideal family environment that also benefits from sliding doors leading into the garden. The kitchen has plenty of fitted cupboards and drawers with a laminate worktop incorporating a sink unit. There are also a range of integrated appliances that includes a dishwasher, plumbing for a washing machine, an integrated oven, fridge and freezer and also a gas hob with wall mounted cooker hood above.

The landing has loft access and doors leading to the three bedrooms which includes the main bedroom at the front of the house that benefits from the added floor space within the bay window and also a modern range of fitted wardrobe furniture. The second bedroom overlooks the rear garden and also benefits from a double wardrobe. The third bedroom is currently used as an office/computer room that would also be suited as a single bedroom/nursery.

The bathroom has a three-piece suite that includes a close coupled WC, a hand basin and a panelled bath that has a shower attachment to the mixer taps. The wall mounted cupboard houses the gas-fired boiler.

There is an enclosed forecourt garden to the front with decorative stone chippings.
